Applications for Australia Awards Scholarships Open

Applications are now open for Australia Awards Scholarships for postgraduate study in Australia in 2016.

The best and brightest candidates will be selected on the basis of academic achievement, leadership qualities, English skills and their potential to contribute to development in Indonesia in a range of sectors, including economic growth, education, health, and governance.

Australia Awards Scholarships provide an opportunity to gain an internationally recognised master or doctoral qualification from one of Australia’s world-class universities, and to pursue a career that makes a difference.

Recipients will have the chance to study and experience life in Australia, to gain the skills and knowledge to drive economic and social development in Indonesia, and to build strong links with Australia.

For more than 60 years, the Australia Awards have been an essential part of the Australian Government’s partnership with Indonesia. In the last 15 years alone, more than 5000 Indonesians have been awarded an Australia Award Scholarship to study in Australia.

Australia Awards alumni have been promoted to senior positions across Indonesia including, Ministers, University Rectors, Senior Government officials, Directors and CEOs in the business and private sector.

Applications for Australia Awards Scholarships close on 30 April 2015.
