The Sydney student who leaked information about a fashion school scholarship controversially awarded to the Prime Minister's daughter will have no conviction recorded against her, with the magistrate finding she was "motivated by a sense of injustice".

Freya Rachael Sommerville Newman, 21, used her position as a part-time librarian at the Whitehouse Institute of Design to access information about the $60,000 director's scholarship awarded to Frances Abbott in 2011.

Ms Newman pleaded guilty earlier this year to accessing restricted data. The offence carries a maximum penalty of two years' jail.

On Tuesday at Downing Centre Local Court, Magistrate Teresa O'Sullivan imposed a two-year good behaviour bond on Ms Newman but elected not to record the conviction, meaning that Ms Newman will not have a permanent criminal record for the offence.
