Dean's Scholarship Fund
The Dean’s Scholarship Fund (DSF) was established in 2007 and has since paid more than $150,000 in financial assistance to students. It is open to all students of Sydney Medical School.
Scholarships from the DSF can be awarded:
- to support students experiencing financial hardship
- to support students presenting their research at scientific or medical conferences
- to assist students who wish to participate in elective terms placements in rural Australia or internationally
- to assist Indigenous students studying medicine or public health
- to assist non-Indigenous students who wish to gain experience in Indigenous health and require financial assistance to do so
- to recognise academic excellence
- or at the discretion of the Dean
In general, the number and amount of elective term and financial assistance scholarships available for a year are determined early in the academic year, and advertised as soon as possible on the School’s website.
