Our Seize the Day Study Awards are open to Queenslanders aged between 16 and 21 who have been diagnosed with cancer or have had an immediate family member diagnosed with cancer, to assist with the costs of tertiary study.

In 2010, Cancer Council Queensland will award $50,000 in the form of study grants to young people affected by cancer.

Applicants must be planning to undertake or continue post-secondary school education at university, TAFE, tertiary college or a vocational training centre.

The funding grants can be used to pay for the cost of textbooks, stationery, fees, transport and accommodation expenses incurred during post-secondary education and training.

In 2009, 66 young Queenslanders received awards.

Applications for Seize the Day Study Awards are available online from June 18, 2010.
