Designed specifically for the public sector, these scholarships develop future leaders equipped to navigate complexity, drive innovation, and deliver meaningful outcomes for Queensland communities.
A scholarship is a unique opportunity for emerging, experienced, and executive leaders to invest in their growth, expand their capability, and engage in world-class learning and academic experiences at the Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) and Queensland University of Technology.
ANZSOG scholarships are provided on the behalf of the Chief Executive Leadership Board.
