Scholarships & Prizes

Over its history, the Union has funded and contributed to a number of scholarships, bursaries and prizes at the School and to Old Sydneians. These include awards to current and future students, masters, and OS.

Alongside the Old Sydneians’ Union Scholarship (see more), the Union also funds a number of other scholarships and prizes. During and after the First World War, the Union commenced its ongoing commitment to support and recognise members of the entire Grammar community for their achievements and future ambitions. This continues to this day.
