These scholarships were established in 1852 by a gift of 1000 pounds from Thomas Barker, for the encouragement of Mathematical Science.
1. Background
a. This Scholarship was established in 1852 by a gift of 1000 pounds from Thomas Barker, for the encouragement of Mathematical Science.
2. Eligibility
a. The Scholarship is offered subject to the applicant being currently enrolled full-time in an undergraduate Science degree within the Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney.
b. Applicants must have achieved the highest mark in at least 18 credit points of Intermediate units of study in the School of Mathematics and Statistics in their undergraduate degree in the previous calendar year.
3. Selection Criteria
a. The Scholarship will be awarded on the basis of the highest average mark across a minimum 18 credit points of Intermediate units of study (i.e. MATH2921/2922/2923/2970/2988 and STAT2911 and DATA2902) in the School of Mathematics and Statistics in one calendar year.
b. The Scholarship will be awarded by the Head of School of Mathematics and Statistics, or their nominated delegates.
4. Value
a. The Scholarship is valued up to $750 per annum tenable for one year only. The value will be stipulated in the Offer Letter.
b. The Scholarship will be paid in two equal instalments after the census date of each semester.
c. Deferral of the Scholarship is not permitted without the prior permission of the Head of Mathematics and Statistics and it is not transferable to another University school, faculty or university without prior approval.
d. The Scholarship will be offered subject to the availability of funds.
e. No other amount is payable.
5. Ongoing Eligibility
a. To continue receipt of the Scholarship, the recipient must be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate Science degree and have completed 18 credit points of Senior units of study in the School of Mathematics and Statistics by the end of the year of tenure of the Scholarship.
b. Part-time enrolment will only be permitted with the prior approval of the Head of School of Mathematics and Statistics, or their nominee, for exceptional circumstances, which limits a recipient’s capacity to study full-time. If part-time study is approved the recipient will receive the payment as pro-rata.
6. Termination
a. The Scholarship will be terminated if the recipient:
I. withdraws from an eligible course or fails to enrol,
