Sydney University Vice-Chancellor Professor Mark Scott AO says the University is proud to partner with Rotary Sydney to support groups traditionally under-represented at universities.
Rotary Soukup Scholarships have supported over 20 indigenous students at Sydney University and The University of Technology.
Rotary Sydney strongly believes that education changes the lives of individuals, communities and the nation and that these scholarships will ultimately contribute to a fairer and a more prosperous Australia.
Two students are detailed in the July 2023 Update from Sydney University.

| “Since my previous updates, I have made the decision to undertake my third year of medical school at Orange Base Hospital, where I have made significant progress in my academic pursuits. Throughout the past six months, I have had the privilege of fully immersing myself in the healthcare environment of Orange, engaging in rotations focused on perinatal and women’s health, as well as critical care." "This scholarship has provided me with the opportunity to prioritise my education and fully dedicate myself to the pursuit of the Doctor of Medicine degree." |

| “Our final year has seen a clear shift towards not only learning about medicine, but working within it. I’ve had the opportunity to undertake placements in a number of specialist settings, feeling less and less like a student as I shift closer to being a working member of the team. Some highlights include working with the NSW Ambulance Aeromedical Team and an RAAF Aeromedical Evacuation Team, along with placements in community care at two different GP practices. I pursued this particular combination deliberately to support my future aspirations and to develop relevant skill sets for generalist practice, including remote area work, humanitarian medicine, and generalist community care." The Rotary Soukup Memorial Scholarship has allowed Dalton to study while continuing to care for his growing family. |
