Business School Commencing Undergraduate Scholarships

The University of Sydney Business School continues to produce outstanding graduates who take up leading positions in business, government, academia and the not-for-profit sector. Our scholarships are more than just financial assistance. They are recognition of an individual's talent and hard work and can be an integral step towards a fulfilling career.

Many of the Business School scholarships are enhanced by links with sponsorship partners in the business, alumni and wider University communities. Other scholarships are sponsored by individuals, corporations and valued members of our alumni network.
