Overview
Scholarships in the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources are designed to both encourage and assist talented school leavers from rural and regional areas to study Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Science, Environmental Systems or Resource Economics at the University of Sydney, and to focus attention on career opportunities which stem from these degrees. Students will need to have a passion for sustainability, for example the carbon-water-food debate or climate change. These scholarships affirm the Faculty’s commitment to sustainability as the way ahead for Australia, while recognising the encumbrances in achieving it. Regardless of the field they focus on, students will leave the university with a better understanding of how to manage land for the challenges ahead.
How much are they worth?
Each Undergraduate Rural Sustainability Scholar will receive $10,000 over three years (or two years for a residential bursary, see below), tax exempt for the Bachelor of Agricultural Economics (BAgrEc), Bachelor of Environmental Systems (BEnvSys), Bachelor of Resource Economics (BResEc) and Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BScAgr) degrees, subject to continued high academic achievement.
Can I use the scholarship toward accommodation costs?
The scholarship may be taken as cash or as a residential bursary at one of the following residential colleges which have reserved a small number of places attached to the Rural Sustainability Scholarship: International House, Mandelbaum House, Sancta Sophia College, St Andrews College, St John’s College, St Paul’s College, Wesley College and Women’s College. You will need to fill in a college application form for your preferred choice of college.
Should you decide to take the scholarship as a residential bursary, the scholarship is paid at the rate of $5,000 per annum for two years directly to the College to be directed to your account. Please note that costs vary from college to college and this residential bursary, while it can be directed toward your accommodation costs, is unlikely to cover the full annual cost. The balance of the fees will be the responsibility of the student. All accommodation enquiries should be directed to the College of your choice.
