Outline

For over 50 years, New College has continued to build character in each individual who becomes part of the College community. We encourage residents to strive for academic excellence, serve one another and make contributions to the wider community. To assist residents to fulfil these outcomes, New College has developed several equity and merit-based scholarships and bursaries to support residents with specific needs or disadvantages.


Please note all applications are via New College. You do not apply via the UNSW Scholarships website. There are multiple closing rounds, depending on commencement term. Please check the application for details and also see below.

The value of the Scholarships and Bursaries vary in value. Currently a minimum of $500 to $6,000. Please see the New College Scholarships & Bursaries Website for details.
