Mandelbaum House Scholarships 2018
Scholarships are available to undergraduate or postgraduate students residing, or applying for residence, at Mandelbaum House and are applied solely to the cost of their residency. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and academic merit, principally to students enrolled at the University of Sydney in a course in Jewish Studies. However, scholarships may on occasion be awarded to candidates who meet the conditions of financial need and academic merit and who are enrolled at the University of Sydney in a course other than Jewish Studies.
Applicants for a Mandelbaum House scholarship are advised not to presume that their application will be successful. They should also explore other sources of possible funding from the University of Sydney, Centrelink and so on. Some links to such sources can be found on the Mandelbaum House website under “scholarships”.
Before applying for a scholarship, students need first to have applied for residency at Mandelbaum House in 2018 and to have had their application for residency accepted. The Mandelbaum House application form for residency can be found on our website:
In relevant circumstances, Mandelbaum House reserves the right to award a successful applicant only a proportion of the maximum funds allocated to each of the above scholarships, or to share a scholarship between two successful applicants.
