Drawing from the wealth of talent from SCA graduates, the Fauvette exhibition has cemented a strong reputation for quality in contemporary art. The recipients and finalists include some of the most prominent contemporary artists in Australia.

The Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Scholarship was established in 1997 through a gift from the estate of Renee Fauvette Erdos, an educator and founder of the History Teachers’ Association of NSW, celebrating the memory of her mother Fauvette Loureiro.

The scholarships are open to all SCA alumni across two categories: a $10,000 Emerging Scholarship and a $30,000 Mid-career/Established Scholarship.
