The Zelda Stedman Artist Scholarship

The Zelda Stedman Artist Scholarship provides support to students at Sydney College of the Arts who are experiencing financial hardship or disadvantage. This scholarship is valued at $2,000 and is awarded to students undertaking undergraduate or postgraduate degrees in visual arts. The scholarship is funded by a bequest from Zelda Stedman and aims to support students facing various forms of hardship including low socio-economic status, carer or sole-parent responsibilities, long-term medical conditions, regional or remote disadvantage, refugee status, LGBTIQ+ identification, being first in family, or identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Recipients are selected based on academic merit, portfolio quality, evidence of hardship, and a personal statement demonstrating their commitment to studying visual art at Sydney College of the Arts and the impact of their hardship on their studies.
