The Australian government on Wednesday opened applications for the Maldives to apply for its Australia Awards scholarships.
The Australia Awards this year offers scholarships only for Master’s Degree level, unlike previous years when it had also offered Bachelor’s Degree scholarships. The Awards focus mainly on four sectors with economy, environment, education and good governance.
The Awards’ official website notes that 50 percent of the available slots are allocated for female students. The government of Australia will cover all education expenses as well as return fares to Australia, medical insurance and other allowances given to scholarship winners.
Scholarship applications are due April 30. Students that receive the scholarships this year will commence studies in January 2018.
All the necessary information for Maldivian applicants are available on its website at www.australiaawardsmaldives.org.
Australia has so far granted scholarships to sixteen individuals of the Maldives.
