University of Technology Sydney Greg Curry Memorial Scholarship 2027

The Greg Curry Memorial Scholarship has been established by a bequest from the late Greg Curry. The scholarship carries forward the thread that ran through Greg’s life: that ability can be found anywhere, but opportunity is not always evenly given.

The scholarship’s purpose is to support students from Western Sydney public high schools to undertake undergraduate studies in mathematics or physics at UTS.
