Round 14 Application Process (Mostly Year 12s in 2024)
Apr 2022
All Queensland secondary schools were notified of the impending Round 14 QATSIF Scholarships via an email sent to each school's general email address and any QATSIF contacts.
May 16 - Aug 8 2022
Interested schools applied online for scholarships on behalf of their 2022 Year 10 and 11 students. Multiple reminder emails were sent out to all secondary schools.
Sept - Oct 2022
The QATSIF Board of Advice and staff assessed all applications and made recommendations for them to be approved by the Public Trustee of Queensland.
Mid-Nov 2022
Schools were notified of scholarship outcomes. Successful schools were sent an email (to the nominated email address in their school's application) with a QATSIF Agreement. QATSIF requires that the Principal of the school signs the Agreement and emails a copy of the Agreement to QATSIF. Each school agrees to spend the QATSIF Scholarship within the guidelines for the educational benefit of each individual applicant and to speak with families about their local scholarship arrangements.
Feb 2023
Scholarships become operational and schools may now begin submitting their QATSIF claim forms found within their QATSIF agreement. A claim form must be submitted by the school every semester for the duration of the scholarship in order to claim for funds spent on each applicant.
Jan - Feb 2025
Schools complete an online acquittal on:
funds spent.
each student’s post school destinations.
each student’s educational outcomes.
statistical data and anecdotal evidence of changes to the educational outcomes for the school’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
