The Nick van Gelder Dreamers Scholarship

In 2022, in partnership with The University of Sydney, the Foundation established the Nick van Gelder Dreamers Scholarship program. The program has now awarded a total of six A$25,000 per annum scholarships, each for up to five years.

The scholarships provide opportunities and support to those in the community who would otherwise not be able to follow their dreams in the field of infrastructure due to significant obstacles, such as lack of financial resources or access to education programmes.

The Foundation’s program seeks to support outstanding high school graduates who have a continuing passion for academic excellence, sport, the arts, leadership, entrepreneurship, development and contributing positively to their community.

Applications for 2024 are now closed.

Objectives of The Scholarship Program

The Nick van Gelder Dreamers Scholarship aims to:

  • Contribute towards the costs for undergraduate degree programs relevant to infrastructure at The University of Sydney; and

  • Provide mentoring, support and internship opportunities through our network of program benefactors.
