Two University of the Sunshine Coast students are preparing for the global study adventure of a lifetime after being awarded Australia’s most prestigious international study scholarship.

A partnership between the University of the Sunshine Coast and Queensland Hydro is growing the pipeline of local talent equipped for careers in engineering though a new STEM scholarship program for students.

Dr Karina Hamilton-Peel says she can trace many of her successes over the last 15 years "to the generosity of the Renouf family", who awarded 17-year-old Karina a life-changing scholarship to help her pursue her uni dreams; she now generously contributes to UniSC giving days to support the next generation of students.

For a person who says she doesn’t naturally enjoy “too much change all at once,” 18-year-old Taylah Wenban is adapting remarkably well to the tidal wave of life-changing adventures she is riding as a first-year paramedic student at UniSC.

An expanded Moreton Bay Regional Council scholarship and bursary program is helping even more UniSC students to reach their full potential.

Natalie and James first met five minutes before the start of a scholarship ceremony at UniSC.

A tragic family loss and financial hardship almost derailed Kristie Loweke’s plans to become a teacher.

Times are tough, but students facing financial hardship, made worse by spiralling costs of living, are discovering the difference that University of the Sunshine Coast scholarships and bursaries can make.

Eva Timmerman's dreams of working in the fashion industry are now a reality thanks to a headstart to study, a scholarship and mentoring by UniSC's passionate lecturer in Fashion Studies, Deborah Fisher, through the UniSC FashCamp program.
