The Sidney University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is offering the Brennan Family Foundation Scholarships to international students.

The Brennan Family Foundation scholarship is specifically for candidates in the faculty of arts and science and the department degree eligible for this scholarship is a Master’s degree in Teaching and Early Childhood at the University of Sydney.

Why Choose The University of Sydney?

If you are looking to get employed immediately after completion of your academics in Australia, the University of Sydney is a good choice because it is among the oldest universities in Australia and it has built a name for graduating top tier and employable candidates. 

The University of Sydney is a recognised name both in the academic she labour market so it would guarantee a high employability chance.

However, because of this prestige and high ranking — it was ranked the second-best university in Australia— it is also difficult to get into, with or without a scholarship.

Having a low acceptance rate of just 30%, it accepts only the best and most eligible candidates who see the vision and execute the mission of the University of Sidney.

What Is The Brennan Family Foundation About?:

The Brennan Family Foundation is a private foundation established by Alec Brennan in 2010 with the purpose of donating to provide continuous charitable assistance to a range of organisations that the family had an interest or involvement with.

Apparently, the faculty of arts and social science at the University of Sydney was a subject of interest which is why a scholarship founded by the family exists there.  All funding comes from the family.
