Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applications
This program, coordinated by the GUMURRII Student Support Unit, seeks to increase the participation of Indigenous Australian students in the University's programs. Griffith University provides additional tutoring and support services to assist Indigenous Australian students to undertake tertiary study successfully, including a special Tertiary Preparation Program that is offered to new students before the start of first semester.

Griffith Uni-Reach program
The aim of the Griffith Uni-Reach program is to increase opportunities for students from targeted Brisbane schools to attend Griffith University. Many of these students are disadvantaged by the general admissions processes and would otherwise be excluded from studying at university. The program offers students various means of improving their academic performance.
With the support of principals, teachers, and guidance officers, students are identified in selected schools. These students meet with a Griffith University mentor on a weekly basis for the period leading up to their final exams. Mentors are trained and experienced in this particular role and offer academic support as well as general advice about university life.
Students who attend Griffith University after completion of this program and year 12 will receive continued support to address any transition difficulties in their first semester.
