North Queensland Bulk Ports Marine Science Scholarship
A core value of the JCU/NQBP partnership is to provide the opportunity for high school students to study marine science at JCU. The funding will allow students to focus on achieving the most from their time with JCU, in addition to working closely with JCU and NQBP staff, as part of a mentorship program for potentially a successful career in the ports sector. Priority is given to Indigenous applicants and in addition to the $16,000 will pay for accommodation costs for QQBP work experience.
