Of the 340+ sporting scholarships offered in 2020, 39 are particularly sentimental. These perpetual named scholarships are established by individuals and organisations who have kindly donated in the spirit of providing a lasting legacy. These gifts are especially appreciated in uncertain times, such as what we’re experiencing now with the COVID-19 pandemic. Four perpetual named scholarships are awarded for the first time this year to four outstanding student athletes in honour of some wonderful Sydney University sporting community members.
The Sports Awards is a special event in the Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness calendar where we acknowledge our new scholarship recipients and generous donors, celebrate our clubs, athletes and administrators and come together as a community in the name of a shared love: sport. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019 event was unfortuntely cancelled, however we are proud to still announce our 2020 scholarship holders online.
