Scholarships and prizes

A variety of scholarships are offered by the University of Sydney, with many faculties also offering their own scholarships and prizes.

Information on research scholarships, such as the Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) and University of Sydney Postgraduate Award (UPA), or externally funded scholarship opportunities available to postgraduate research students, can be found on the Scholarships and Financial Support Service website.

There are also a range of industry scholarships for projects in specific areas or disciplines, details of which are available from the Scholarships Office or via your intended department or supervisor.
