Find a Prize
The University of Adelaide recognises the excellence of its students through the generous donations from a wide range of community members.
Many of our prizes are endowed, funds are held in a trust and these prizes are awarded in perpetuity. The University’s earliest prize, the John Howard Clarke Prize, has been continually offered since its inception in 1880. Other prizes are funded for a set period by generous donations from industry, non-profit organisations and members of the community.
If you’re interested in establishing a prize, please contact the Development Team, External Engagement on +61 8 8313 5800 or development@adelaide.edu.au.
How do you win a prize?
Prizes are different from Scholarships, generally, you don’t apply for a Prize. Prizes are awarded based on the criteria set up in conjunction with the donor. Usually, prizes are awarded in the year after which they’re won, this is due to the volume of prizes awarded and the conditions for selecting prize recipients.
How do you know if you’ve won a prize?
If you’ve won a prize, you’ll receive an email at your university email address. For the Coursework Scholarships & Prizes Office to process the prize payment, you’ll need to:
- Go to Financial Services to submit your bank account details or to check they are up to date.
- Return the completed acceptance form to prizes@adelaide.edu.au.
If you’ve completed study and left the university, we will contact you at the alternative email address you provided to the University. You will also receive a banking authority form in addition to the acceptance form. You will need to complete both forms and return these to prizes@adelaide.edu.au.
