The City of Logan Tertiary Education Bursary offers financial support for university students in Logan City.

We work with several organisations in South-East Queensland to provide financial support to young people in Logan wishing to undertake tertiary studies. Students from families whose own financial resources are limited are encouraged to apply. We award a number of tertiary education bursaries each year. Successful students receive a $5,000 bursary that is provided in instalments for each semester (or trimester) of a three-year course.

What Criteria do I need to meet?

Applicants for the bursary need to meet these selection criteria:

1. Be a resident of the City of Logan.
2. Attending full time student at a secondary school within or adjacent to the City of Logan, completing grade 12 in 2024.

3. An annual allocation is available and can be used to purchase textbooks, stationery or other essential items for study.
4. Successful recipients are given payments totalling $1,750.00 in the first year, $1,500.00 in the second year and $1,750.00 in the third year, unless the university course structure is an 'accelerated' format.

   • fail the course
   • change to another tertiary institution in another state
   • change to a lesser tertiary institution that is not a university
