QUT Elite Athlete Program

In 2004 QUT signed on with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) as an " Elite Athlete Friendly" University to help lead the way nationally in supporting elite athletes. The Elite Athlete Program at QUT is managed by QUT Careers and Employment. QUT recognises the demand on elite athletes through training and competition, and endeavours to provide student athletes with the same opportunity to excel in their studies as normal students. Over 300 elite athletes, represented across more than 50 different sports, are currently enrolled at QUT and registered with the program.

Registering with the Elite Athlete Program helps the university identify elite athlete students and provide support through:

• flexible and responsive approach to admissions;
• enrolment and assessment;
• academic support;
• OP upgrading;
• career counselling;
• scholarships and financial support;
• and special consideration where possible.
