Each year, the Foundation makes a limited number of overseas scholarships available to help young Queenslanders realise their dreams of working internationally in their chosen field.
A scholarship comprises a return airfare to the country of choice, together with a settling-in allowance to cover the initial costs that the recipients might encounter.
