Undergraduate Scholarships & Prizes
We recognise merit and excellence in our students through the award of scholarships and prizes. Individuals and organisations have generously donated funds for these awards. We've also created additional awards through our own funds. In most cases the awards are made based on performance rather than on an application process, but you should check the conditions of the scholarship and prizes carefully for any special requirements.
Don't forget to have a look at the main Scholarships @ Macquarie website for scholarships available to all Macquarie students.
Check out our photos from the 2007 Scholarships and Prizes Presentation Ceremony.
You can see photos from previous years here and here.
