Robert R Sterling Distinguished Honours Scholarship in Accounting

The Robert R Sterling Distinguished Honours Scholarship in Accounting was established in 2008 from a generous donation to the University of Sydney Business School. This scholarship supports undergraduate students who intend to study an honours year in accounting, with a specific focus on financial accounting. The scholarship is intended to support academic study and investigation in the field of financial accounting, particularly study pertaining to the empirical foundations of measurement in accounting and the usefulness of accounting measurements for financial decision making. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of overall academic merit with special attention paid to financial accounting units and the application for admission into the Accounting Honours Program. Recipients must complete Accounting Honours in the field of financial accounting and maintain satisfactory academic progress throughout the program.
