Marion Macaulay Bequest Master of Education

The Marion Macaulay Bequest Master of Education is a scholarship valued at $15,000 designed to support students pursuing the Master of Education (Leadership in Aboriginal Education) at the University of Sydney. The scholarship was established through a bequest to the University of Sydney in 1995 to assist students to achieve their educational potential in the area of humanities. The scholarship specifically focuses on supporting students committed to Aboriginal education and Aboriginal community engagement. Preference is given to students who can demonstrate financial hardship based on various criteria including identification as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, low socio-economic status, carer responsibilities, long-term medical conditions, sole-parent responsibilities, regional or remote disadvantage, LGBTIQ+ identification, or being first in family to attend university. The scholarship is awarded based on academic merit and a personal statement demonstrating financial hardship and commitment to Aboriginal education and community engagement.
