Thank you in anticipation for your generous support, which will enable us to continue our important and valuable sponsorship of outstanding students.

The reputation the Scots have of being niggardly and mean is undeserved and totally wrong. The Scots are in fact a nation of caring people who are canny and generous in the extreme. Ask anyone who has had the pleasure of being a guest in that special country!

Educational Bursary Award Scheme

We present a number of bursaries to worthy recipients to assist them in their educational pursuits. The scheme was established by the Society in the early 1960’s and has been a mainstay of the Society’s charitable endeavours ever since.

The purpose of the Bursaries are:

To encourage and assist qualifying students to attain higher educational levels;
To encourage, maintain and foster Scottish traditions in Queensland through future leaders of the community;
To promote interest in the Society;
To honour the memory of deceased members of the Society who have given outstanding service to the community.

Candiates for the Bursaires should be a student attending a recognised school or college in Queensland and be returning for at least a further year of study.
