The Jerome De Costa Memorial Award - Graduate Exhibition

The Jerome De Costa Memorial Award - Graduate Exhibition is an undergraduate scholarship established to assist students with the costs associated with the development and presentation of artwork for exhibition at the undergraduate degree show at the Sydney College of Art. This scholarship provides financial support to enable students to create more ambitious projects at the end of their undergraduate degree. The scholarship is valued at $5,000 and is paid as a one-off payment after the census date of Semester 2 in the year of award. The scholarship was funded by a donation to the University of Sydney by the de Costa family in memory of Jerome de Costa, whose enrolment at SCA was sadly prevented by his untimely death. The award is specifically designed to support students who can demonstrate financial hardship and are completing their final studio unit while planning to exhibit in the graduate exhibition.
