Conservatorium awarded scholarships

For new students

Through the generosity of donors and benefactors, the Conservatorium awards more than 150 merit-based scholarships and prizes each year, worth in excess of $1million.

Both local and international applicants are considered for scholarships, assessed on both audition results and academic achievement.

Applicants are automatically considered for Conservatorium awarded merit-based scholarships at the time of audition and no separate application process is necessary. Scholarships awarded by the University (including USYD Merit and USYD Entry scholarships) require a seperate application process to be completed. For further information please contact the Scholarships and Prizes Office.

Other opportunities

In addition to faculty merit-based scholarships, the Conservatorium also offers scholarships and grants specifically for supplementary study overseas, student touring opportunities, and for postgraduate students to support their research activities. Certain eligibility criteria may apply to these scholarships and grants and they are typically awarded following application.

For continuing students

The Conservatorium also offers a variety of scholarships and prizes to students already studying at the Conservatorium. These scholarships are also merit-based and typically awarded after completion of the first year of study, based on academic achievement.
