Rosebrook Foundation Indigenous Accommodation Scholarship

The Rosebrook Foundation Indigenous Accommodation Scholarship provides financial support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students undertaking undergraduate studies at the University of Sydney. Established in 2015, this scholarship has been generously donated by the Rosebrook Foundation to support students with their accommodation and living costs. The scholarship awards $15,000 per year for up to a maximum of 3 years full-time study or part-time equivalent. Recipients must maintain a minimum Semester Average Mark (SAM) of 50 each semester to continue receiving the scholarship. The scholarship does not cover appended Honours degrees or postgraduate studies such as Master of Nursing or Doctor of Medicine. Applicants must be enrolled in the first semester of their undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney and identify as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person. They must also be able to demonstrate financial need and/or independent living. The scholarship is awarded based on academic merit, evidence of financial need and/or independent living, and a personal statement describing how the scholarship will assist the applicant with their studies. The scholarship annual value is paid in two equal instalments after the census date of each semester. Deferral and suspension are permitted for up to two semesters, and the scholarship is transferable to another undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney with approval.
