The Indigenous Scholarships Endowment Fund
The Wesley College Indigenous Scholarships Endowment Fund was established in 2007 to provide financial assistance to Indigenous students to be resident at Wesley. Through welcoming Indigenous students to be part of the Wesley College community it is hoped to broaden the cultural diversity of the College and to assisting each Indigenous student to become a successful graduate from the University of Sydney.
Thanks to the generosity of Wesley College supporters, the Indigenous Endowment Fund will provide up to two scholarships per year, awarded at a range of between a half and full scholarship, depending on the individual situation of the scholarship applicant.
The Scholarship Committee will take in to account the individual financial circumstances of the student, other scholarships or financial assistance that they are receiving, and relevant government assistance, when awarding the scholarship and the value of the scholarship that is offered.
This scholarship is taken as a discount against Wesley College residential fees.
