Each year, the School of Mathematics offers a number of Scholarships to students entering the University of New South Wales and enrolling in programs of study including Mathematics majors or study plans. These are reviewed annually, and may be renewed for up to a total of four years. All sccholarships are worth $5,000 per year except the Alma Douglas Scholarship which is worth $6,000 per year. The Scholarships include:

The School may offer more than one scholarship in one or more categories, or none if there are no candidates of sufficient merit. These Scholarships cannot be held in conjunction with certain other awards.

The University (see here) and the Faculty of Science (see here) also offer Scholarships which can be used to study Mathematics at the University of New South Wales.

Currently, in total at least ten new scholarships are available each year for studying Mathematics.

The School of Mathematics Scholarships are awarded to the student (or students) with the best high school performance (based on HSC Mathematics results and UAI) who enrols in a degree program which includes one of the possible majors or study plans in Mathematics. For renewal, Scholars must enrol in Mathematics courses so that, by the end of their Second Year, they have completed at least 36 Units of Credit of Mathematics courses, and by the end of their Third Year, they have completed at least 60 Units of Credit of Mathematics courses. They must also maintain a superior level of achievement in their University studies. These scholarships are worth $5,000 per year.

The School of Mathematics Teachers Scholarships are awarded to a student (or students) with a UAI of at least 85 who wishes to become a Mathematics teacher and enrols in an appropriate degree program. Applicants must include a statement of no more than 500 words about why they wish to become mathematics teachers, and an academic and general reference from their high school Mathematics teacher. For renewal, the students must continue their enrolment in a degree program for prospective Mathematics teachers and must maintain a satisfactory level of achievement in their University studies.

The School of Mathematics Rural Scholarships are awarded to a student (or students) from a country high school with a UAI of at least 95 who enrols in a degree program which includes one of the possible majors or study plans in Mathematics. For renewal, the students must maintain progress through Mathematics courses at the same rate as the School of Mathematics Scholars. They must also maintain a high level of achievement in their University studies.

The School of Mathematics Statistics Scholarships are awarded to a student (or students) with a UAI of at least 95 who enrols in a degree program which includes a major or study plan in Statistics. Applicants must include a statement of no more than 500 words explaining why they wish to study Statistics. For renewal, the students must maintain progress through Mathematics courses at the same rate as the School of Mathematics Scholars. They must also maintain a high level of achievement in their University studies. These Scholarships may also be awarded to students who have completed First Year at the University of New South Wales with excellent results.

The Alma Douglas Scholarship in Theoretical Statistics is available to students currently undertaking the HSC (or equivalent) and proposing to undertake full-time study in the Bachelor of Science (Advanced) in Theoretical Statistics at UNSW. Selection will be based on academic merit. The scholarship is worth not less than $6,000 per year. It will usually be awarded for the duration of the undergraduate study, subject to satisfactory progress. Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents.

The School of Mathematics Meteorology and Oceanography Scholarships are awarded to a student (or students) with a UAI of at least 95 who enrols in a degree program which includes a major or study plan in Meteorology and Oceanography. Applicants must include a statement of no more than 500 words explaining why they wish to study Meteorology and Oceanography. For renewal, the students must maintain progress through Mathematics courses at the same rate as the School of Mathematics Scholars. They must also maintain a high level of achievement in their University studies. These Scholarships may also be awarded to students who have completed First Year at the University of New South Wales with excellent results.

In addition, each year the School offers a number of Senior Undergraduate Scholarships to students studying third and fourth year mathematics and statistics. These are worth $500 per session, and are awarded to students with good records who are studying at least 12 units of Credit of MATH courses in the session. No applications are necessary, as the School will automatically consider all those eligible.

Applications for scholarships can be made online or application forms can be downloaded from the UNSW Scholarships website . Generally, applications are due on September 30.
