About this scholarship
Professor Peter Høj AC served as the Vice-Chancellor and President of The University of Queensland from 2012 to 2020. Following the public launch of UQ's first comprehensive philanthropic campaign, Peter and his partner Emeritus Professor Mandy Thomas established an endowed accommodation scholarship supporting Indigenous Australian students. This scholarship intends to support the next generation of Indigenous students working to create change in their communities and in the world, and - in a small, yet meaningful way - to address historic educational inequity.
