A growing number of Indigenous students will benefit each year from the UQ Shop’s ongoing commitment to contribute sales revenue of Reconciliation products towards additional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholarships at The University of Queensland (UQ).
The UQ Shop, which is owned and managed by UQ Sport, sells a range of Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) gifts and accessories. The stunning hero artwork is titled A Guidance Through Time, and was created by Quandamooka artists Casey Coolwell and Kyra Mancktelow.
The UQ Shop is dedicated to the advancement of equal educational opportunities, in conjunction with supporting local Indigenous enterprise to further the positive impact.
To date, UQ Shop has contributed over $100,000 to UQ’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship Endowment Fund. In 2023, a further $50,000 has been committed to the fund, ensuring the continued empowerment of Indigenous students through scholarships.
More than 100 Indigenous students currently benefit from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarships scheme at UQ.
