Mr Hall received the Aboriginal Education Council scholarship, to support him successfully complete his senior years of schooling.
The Secretary of the Department of Education, Mark Scott, thanked the PEF for its ongoing support of public education in NSW.
He said the scholarships aimed to remove barriers to achievement created by social and economic disadvantage.
"These scholarships are about recognising and rewarding student excellence to encourage high-achieving students to continue to maximise their potential," Mr Scott said.
"I congratulate our students, teachers and leaders who have won scholarships - it is their efforts that combine to create the extraordinary public education system we have in NSW."
