The Australian High Commission in Sri Lanka has announced the opening of applications for its Australia Awards Scholarships.
According to the High Commission, Applications for Australia Awards Scholarships commencing in 2024 will close on 1 May 2023.
Australia Awards Scholarships are long-term development awards funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The study and research opportunities provided through Australia Awards Scholarships develop the skills and knowledge of individuals to drive change and contribute to development.
Australia Awards Scholarships offer emerging leaders the opportunity to undertake full-time postgraduate study in Australia in specific fields. Under the Australia Awards – South Asia & Mongolia program, they are open to suitably qualified nationals of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Mongolia.
Scholars are well supported throughout the period of their studies in Australia. Benefits include full tuition fees, return airfares, contribution to living expenses and medical insurance.
On completion of their studies, recipients of Australia Awards become part of the Australia Global Alumni network, connecting them to Australia, the region and each other – building an engaged and influential global network of leaders and advocates for development.
