Funding Support

APS provides funding for student-led initiatives that benefit current UQ postgraduate students.

You can apply as an individual, an APS accredited club or an organisation. We support activities that build postgraduate community, support wellbeing, create opportunities for learning and development, or improve the postgraduate experience at UQ.

Applications are assessed on their postgraduate benefit, value for money, planning, safety and compliance with relevant UQ policies and legal requirements.

Fit within UQ policies and relevant legislation

This helps us make sure funding is used fairly and effectively for the benefit of all postgrads.
