NEW scholarships - Second round applications close 3 Feb
BusinessPLUS scholarships
We offer three new BusinessPLUS scholarship categories this year, which seek to reward potential as well as excellence - so it’s worthwhile investigating whether you might qualify to receive one. Scholarships can cover tuition fees, education and living expenses. You can apply if you are coming straight from year 12, or if you have left high school and are applying to start an undergraduate university degree. They add to over 600 scholarships available at Griffith. You can also apply for multiple scholarships with just one application; we’ll match you with the Griffith University scholarship you are eligible for and it's free.

Too many small businesses collapse too soon. Find out why and gain the entrepreneurial skills to bring your ideas to life. A Griffith Business School entrepreneurship and self-employment major is a toolbox for startups. Use it to develop a valuable skill set that includes small-business finance, marketing, human resource management and entrepreneurship.
Hands-on experience, global opportunities
Learn from the people who know best. Along with your classroom lecturers, you’ll learn from industry professionals and discover how business theory applies on the job. Take on a community internship, project-based work placement or Global Mobility internship and gain practical experience, professional skills and connections that will boost your career prospects.
