Equity Schemes
Textbook Loan Scheme
The Textbook Loan Scheme allows students experiencing financial disadvantage to borrow required textbooks for compulsory units, and limited elective units. Given in memory of Walter Reid, a student and a graduate of the Faculties of Arts and Law in the University of Sydney, students are required to pay a $40 bond per textbook which will be returned after their loan period. Please read the Textbook Loan Policy for information on eligibility criteria and loan conditions.
If you would like to apply for the textbook loan scheme for Semester 2 2025, please use the link below. Applications open on Monday 21 July 2025, and close on Sunday 13 August 2025.
All questions or concerns regarding the scheme should be directed to the Equity Officer, Angelica, at equity@suls.org.au.
Financial Grants Scheme
Our Financial Grants Scheme allows students who demonstrate financial hardship to be reimbursed for purchases related to law school for up to $100. These reimbursements are for law-school related purchases, and can be for items such as stationery, textbooks, printing, SULS events tickets and competition costs. Please see the SULS Bylaws Part 5 for information on eligibility criteria and grant conditions.
If you would like to apply for a financial grant, the application form for financial grants is available below. Applications are open all year round on a rolling basis.
All questions or concerns regarding the scheme should be directed to the Equity Officer, Angelica, at equity@suls.org.au.
