Get ready to make a change
Australia Awards Scholarships are a prestigious, transformational experience.
Funded by the Australian Government, the Australia Awards Scholarships are offered to emerging global leaders from a wide range of countries, for study, research and professional development in Australia. It is through these new skills, knowledge and networks that Monash University’s Australia Awards graduates are able to drive positive change and contribute to the development, prosperity and resilience of their home country upon their return.
