2024 Sphinx Scholarships Available 

The Sphinx Scholarship Fund is a great success story for the Perth Modernian Society. Having started in 2008 with a single donation from Modernian Jim Cundill (dec.), donations and good investment strategies have since swelled the fund to around $900,000 now. The scholarships and bursaries are one of Perth Mod’s special features.

General Criteria: Under the constitution of these awards, they are to be awarded to students, who, in the opinion of the selection panel, demonstrate outstanding talent in the nominated subject area as well as demonstrating how the scholarship would be used to assist achievement of academic excellence in the respective subject area.

The donors have specified that the money awarded is to provide enrichment in the subject area beyond that provided in the normal school program.

Applications for the following scholarships are open from Friday, 9 June until Friday, 1 September 2023.
