Summary

The Sidney Myer Centennial Scholarship was established with a gift from Sidney Myer to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Faculty of Business and Economics in 2024. There are several scholarships available to support students that are currently underrepresented in the Bachelor of Commerce and/or have demonstrated disadvantage or need for financial support to pursue tertiary study. The scholarship offers a full tuition fee remission and a generous living allowance over three years. There are three categories of eligibility for domestic students and this scholarship is only available in 2024.

Benefits

  • A full CSP Student Contribution sponsorship for the Bachelor of Commerce (and a concurrent diploma, if relevant). This means you will not incur tuition fees for the duration of your three-year Bachelor of Commerce and concurrent diploma (if applicable).
  • A living allowance of $37,500 per year for three years paid in quarterly instalments of $9,375. (The duration of the allowance will be extended by one year if students enrol in a concurrent diploma during their Bachelor of Commerce course.)

The scholarship for subsequent highest-ranking women or non-binary students provides a full CSP Student Contribution sponsorship for the Bachelor of Commerce.
