About the scholarship

The Learning Potential Fund provides support through scholarships and bursaries to students in financial need.

Heather and Peter Howes decided to make their kind donation to the QUT Learning Potential Fund because Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT), now QUT, has played a very pivotal role in their professional and personal lives. They strongly value education and have encouraged this in both of their children.
