Information about Scholarships in Australia

Australian Scholarships

The Australia Awards are comprised of*two streams: an achievement stream that targets the best and brightest students, researchers and professionals to come to Australia and for Australians to do the same offshore; and a development stream that builds capacity in developing countries.
The Australia Awards brings the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the Department of Education,
Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) scholarships together under the Australia Awards program."
