Reds Scholarship Program

The QR Reds are committed through their QAS Reds Academy and Super 14 programs to promote on and off field achievement ensuring players set themselves up for a career outside of rugby.

In addition to this, the Reds have developed partnerships with important program sponsors to assist in the delivery of the Reds Rugby Scholarship Program. The program will provide a special  opportunity for a select group of young players who we believe have the potential to play Rugby at the highest level.
