The Edna Briggs Scholarship in Physics

The Edna Briggs Scholarship in Physics provides financial support to students conducting research in physics at the University of Sydney. Established in 2018 from a generous donation by Dr Barbara Briggs, who graduated from the University of Sydney, this scholarship supports PhD students within the School of Physics, Faculty of Science. The scholarship is valued at $10,000 and will be paid as a one-off payment in the relevant research period the recipient is enrolled in. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit, curriculum vitae, and a personal statement outlining how the scholarship will assist them in their degree. Preference is given to applicants who identify as female and/or can demonstrate financial hardship and/or carer responsibilities.
