Australia Awards Scholarships 2024-2025 are now open for applications. Interested candidates can fill their applications online.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is in charge of administering the Australia Awards Scholarships, which are long-term grants.
In accordance with bilateral and regional agreements, they intend to contribute to the development requirements of Australia’s partners.
They offer full-time undergraduate and postgraduate study at participating Australian universities and Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutions to people from developing nations, particularly those in the Indo-Pacific region.
The study and research opportunities offered by Australia Awards Scholarships enable individuals to influence change and contribute to development in their own countries by enhancing their skills and knowledge.
