About The Bursary Program
Established in 1905, the National Council of Women of Queensland Inc. (NCWQ) continues to represent the voice of thousands of women through its affiliated organisations and individual membership.
The bursary program, since its commencement in 2009, indicates the strong commitment of NCWQ to equality of opportunity for all women, especially in offering assistance to Queensland female students as they pursue their chosen pathway of study.
Last year’s program, through NCWQ and its sponsors, awarded a range of bursaries, to assist Queensland women with their educational expenses. Most bursaries are valued approximately $1,000 each. The 2022 Bursary recipients will be announced soon.
