Each year the University of Sydney offers about fifty Honours Scholarships, each worth $5,000. These scholarships are available to students enrolled in degrees that require an extra year of study for the award of honours. All local students are eligible, including those students who completed their undergraduate degree at a university other than Sydney.

Further information about these scholarships will be available on the Scholarships website from late August each year. See: www.usyd.edu.au/fstudent/undergrad/study/shm/scholarships.shtml.
