The Roberta Sykes Indigenous Education Foundation provides supplementary financial assistance to Indigenous Postgraduate students who wish to undertake studies at any recognised overseas university.

The scholarship is offered for one year, but recipients may reapply for a subsequent year of the same program of study. The value of the Scholarship is up to a maximum of AUD $75,000.

Roberta Sykes Scholarships are jointly funded by the Australian Government (National Indigenous Australians Agency), the British High Commission (Chevening), Cambridge Australia Scholarships Ltd, Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, and the University of Cambridge.

Fifteen years ago, there had never been an Indigenous Australian studying full-time at Oxford or Cambridge. Since then, 33 Charlie Perkins Scholars have been accepted into full-time studies at these universities. To date, 28 have graduated.
The value of each Perkins Scholarship will vary, depending on the scholarship holder’s course of study.

It will cover up to three years full university and college fees, travel costs, and an annual stipend to cover living expenses.
These Postgraduate scholarships are particularly directed towards Indigenous Australians who have the potential to become leaders in their field of study and in their communities.
