Giving Philosophy
Griffith University supports educational access and research excellence through early admission schemes, scholarships, and research funding. Their approach focuses on removing barriers to higher education for Year 12 students in Queensland and northern NSW, supporting VET pathway students, and advancing research across multiple disciplines.
Tips for Applicants
For the Year 12 Early Offer Guarantee, ensure you list your preferred March 2026 degree as your FIRST QTAC preference. ATAR/IB students should submit QCAA portal screenshots showing all IA1, IA2, IA3 results by the deadline. VET students need completion certificates. Head Start students don't need to submit additional documentation—Griffith can verify enrollment directly. Northern NSW students must attend an eligible high school to qualify.
