CQUniCares is the University’s philanthropic arm that works closely with the community and business to help provide students with the opportunity to reach their full potential.

STUDENT SUCCESS FUNDAt CQUniversity, it’s our belief that every single person deserves to further themselves through education. Regardless of background. Regardless of circumstance.

We are proud to have the highest ratio of students who are first-in-family, Indigenous, low socio-economic, mature-aged or from a disadvantaged background, compared to any other university in Australia. In fact, 45 per cent of our students are from a low socio-economic background. Many of these students face additional barriers during their study, with financial stress being one of the major obstacles preventing students from completing their qualification and reaching their full potential. Through the generous support of our donors, the CQUniCares Student Success Fund provides deserving students without the financial means, the opportunity to reach their full potential.

ACADEMIC PRIZES Supported by our generous donors, the CQUniCares Prize Program rewards students’ dedication and achievement. Awarded annually, prizes inspire all students to work hard and do their best. They celebrate individual success and encourage shared excellence.

EMERGENCY GRANTSCQUniCares Emergency Grants provide urgent financial assistance to low income students experiencing financial hardship as a result of an emergency or unforseen circumstance. Each $500 grant helps a student to cover expenses such as textbooks, rent, food and residential school travel. CQUniCares Emergency Grants go a long way towards helping students in their time of need to continue their study.
