Advice for HSC/IB students
To find a scholarship or cadetship you may need to do research to find an opportunity which suits you, your circumstances and your plans. The University offers many opportunities to students who are currently completing their final year of high school.
Currently you can apply for the following at the University of Sydney:
- University of Sydney Merit and Entry Scholarships - Closed for 2010.
- University of Sydney Access Scholarships - Close 30 November 2009 Closing date extended!
- V.John Plummer Scholarships in Economics and Business - Close 30 November 2009 Closing date extended!
- Commonwealth Indigenous Scholarships - Close 30 November 2009 Closing date extended!
However, you should read the page on Scholarships at Sydney for details of the full range of scholarships available and the closing dates. There are also thousands of opportunities out there which you can apply for instead of, or as well as, our scholarships. You can use different resources to find out more, such as:
- Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations Scholarship Advice website
- The Country Education Foundation of Australia
- general internet search engines (i.e. Google)
- www.myfuture.edu.au
- the school Careers Adviser
- company websites for details of cadetships
The Scholarships & Prizes Office host information sessions at Sydney Uni Live, the University of Sydney preview day for potential students. This day, usually held on the last Saturday in August each year, showcases the courses, services and campus of the University. More information about Sydney Uni Live is available through The University of Sydney homepage closer to the event date.
