University of Canberra Australia Awards
Australia Awards are prestigious international scholarships funded by the Australian Government and administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). These awards aim to promote knowledge, education links, and enduring ties between Australia and its neighboring countries. The scholarships are offered to high-achieving students from developing countries, enabling them to study at Australian universities, including the University of Canberra.
The Australia Awards provide full financial support, including tuition fees, return air travel, establishment allowance, and a living allowance. The program also includes supplementary academic support to help scholars achieve their academic goals. The Australia Awards are designed to support the development needs of partner countries in line with bilateral and regional agreements. Scholars are expected to return to their home countries and contribute to their country's development after completing their studies.
