The Dianne Feeney Memorial Prize
The Council of the Sydney College of Divinity have established a scholarship which is awarded annually to the candidate of the College who has gained the highest level of achievement in the BTh and who is proceeding to graduate study.
The Scholarship and medal are memorials to honour the life and work of Dianne Feeney, who was a member of the teaching faculty in the Churches of Christ (NSW) Theological College as an anthropologist and missiologist. She played an active and constructive part in the development of the Sydney College of Divinity until her tragic death in New Guinea on 28 November, 1985.
The Rev Dr Brian Murray Memorial Prize
Through a generous donation received from the Marist Fathers a fund was established from which a grant and a medal would be awarded annually to the student with the highest level of achievement in the discipline of Theology who is graduating BTh. The first award was made in 1999.
The Prize marks the contribution of the Rev. Dr Brian Murray sm to theological education generally and to the SCD in particular. Dr Murray was principal and lecturer at the Catholic Theological Union from 1975 until the end of 1982. During that time he played a significant role in the establishment of the SCD (being a member of the initial working party) and was involved in the early submissions to the Higher Education Board. He later served as Superior to the Marist Fathers’ General House in Rome, as Vicar Provincial for the Australian Province, and in parish ministry in Brisbane until his death on 8 September, 1994.
The SCD Council reserves the right not to make a particular award in any one year.
