About Australian Award Scholarship
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is in charge of administering Australia Scholarships Scholarships, which are long-term awards.
According to bilateral and regional agreements, they seek to support the development requirements of Australia's alliance partners.
People from developing nations, especially those in the Indo-Pacific area, are given the chance to enroll in full-time undergraduate or graduate programs at participating Australian universities and Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutes.
