About the scholarship

QUT has been a corporate member of the Property Council of Australia (PCA) for several years. The Property Council of Australia has actively supported the Bachelor of Property Economics degree working with Dr Connie Susilawati, Subject Area Coordinator, to provide guest lecturers since 2014.

In 2020, PCA's Queensland Executive Director approached QUT to open discussions about establishing a collaborative scholarship that would support a promising Bachelor of Property Economics student who is looking to pursue a career in the property industry.

Past Queensland presidents of the Property Council have come together and pledged personal donations to establish this scholarship fund.
