Postgraduate Coursework Start Up Scholarship

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Postgraduate Coursework Start Up Scholarship supports students commencing a postgraduate coursework degree in the faculty. Established in 2017, this scholarship assists commencing postgraduate masters by coursework students with the costs of returning to tertiary study. The scholarship is funded by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney. Recipients enrolled full-time will receive $10,000 per annum for up to 1 year, while recipients enrolled part-time will receive $5,000 per annum for up to 2 years. The scholarship value is paid in two equal instalments after the census date of each relevant semester. No separate application is required as the award is based on previous tertiary academic results. To maintain the scholarship, recipients must achieve a minimum Semester Average Mark (SAM) of 65 each semester and remain enrolled in at least 12 credit points of study per semester. The scholarship is available to domestic full-fee paying students who have an unconditional offer to study a postgraduate coursework degree in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and do not hold a Commonwealth Supported Place.
