Kevin Charlesworth Scholarship

In 2024, UniSQ will offer one Kevin Charlesworth Scholarship to support a student commencing their studies in an undergraduate degree program.

Kevin Charlesworth understands the financial challenges students face while trying to complete their University degree, having experienced these challenges himself. The desire to help others and improve access to higher education inspired Mr Charlesworth to establish the Kevin Charlesworth Endowment Fund. Through Kevin’s generous giving we are able to offer these scholarships to help graduates from selected schools that are close to the donor’s heart with their studies in any undergraduate degree at UniSQ.

The scholarship will have a maximum value of $12 000 to be paid over three years.
