Scholarships

Our aim is to continue to produce outstanding graduates who take up leading positions in business, government and academia. Our range of Faculty scholarships reflects our strong links with industry and the corporate sector as well as our commitment to students.

Some scholarships are funded directly by the Faculty of Economics and Business and some are funded by the University as a whole. Others are sponsored by corporations, such as CVC Limited, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Canon, Citi, and Australia's largest domestic and international airline, QANTAS Airways Limited. Still others have been provided by alumni and individual sponsors, such as Mr Charles Littrell and Dr Kimberley Cartwright, Mr Gilles Kryger, Mr V. John Plummer and Dr Phillip Noel Hartley Smith, as encouragement for students to continue the great traditions of the Faculty.

A scholarship from The University of Sydney is about more than financial assistance. It is recognition of an individual's talent and hard work.
