Will I be required to work for QR National after I complete my degree?

Yes.  By choosing to take on a QR National Scholarship, you will be accepting the employment terms outlined in your Scholarship Program.  The employment conditions will come into effect on the successful completion of your degree and require you to work full-time for QR National for a period equal to one and a half times the length of your scholarship (e.g. 1 year scholarship = 1.5 years employment; maximum of three years).

Anything else?

As a scholarship holder, you will be invited to networking and social functions to meet QR National staff and graduates.  You will be provided with two dedicated QR National contacts, our Graduate Development Coordinator and Scholarship Liaison Officer, who are part of the Graduate Executive and Graduate Leadership Teams.  They will keep you up-to-date with graduate newsletters and major business announcements so you know what's going on while you study.
