Australia Awards Scholarships 2025 | Fully Funded | Apply Now

The Australia Awards Scholarships are long-term awards administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. They intend to contribute to the development needs of Australia’s partner countries in accordance with bilateral and regional agreements.

Australia Awards Scholarships enable people from developing countries, particularly those in the Indo-Pacific region, to pursue full-time undergraduate or postgraduate studies at participating Australian universities and Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutions.

Australia Awards Scholarships provide study and research opportunities that help individuals develop the skills and knowledge they need to drive change and contribute to development in their home countries.

Eligibility Requirements:

Applicants who wish to accept an Australia Awards Scholarship must sign a contract with the Commonwealth of Australia stating that they will abide by the terms of the scholarship.

Scholars are required to leave Australia for at least two years after completing their scholarships. Failure to do so will result in the scholar incurring a debt for the full cost of their scholarship.

• Introductory Academic Program (IAP)–a compulsory program prior to the commencement of formal academic studies covering information on living and studying in Australia
• Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of the award (for award holder only)–provided to cover the scholar’s basic medical costs (with the exception of pre-existing conditions)
• Pre-course English (PCE) fees–if deemed necessary PCE may be available for students for in-country and/or in-Australia training
