When you are a UQ Future Leader

There are no nomination fees or ongoing costs.

We highly recommend attending these activities (in-person or virtually) to get the most out of your experience as a UQ Future Leader. You will also receive special discounts and exclusive opportunities as part of the UQ Young Alumni Program, which is supported by fellow young alumni on the UQ Young Alumni Advisory Board.
