An Australia Awards Scholarship provides you the opportunity to gain an internationally recognised qualification from an Australian institution and includes all the necessary support and funding to complete your study. Australia Awards Scholarships are long-term development awards funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
It offers emerging leaders the opportunity to undertake full time master’s-level study in Australia in specific fields aligning with development priorities such as sustainability and resilience, stability, inclusion and governance, and economic development. The study and research opportunities provided through the Scholarship develop the skills and knowledge of individuals to drive change and contribute to development.
“Australia Awards is the most enlightening experience I have had in my education so far. It’s not just a onetime event, but a lifelong journey. The best part of the Australia Award is that it doesn’t end when your scholarship ends. It allows you to move forward with new ideas, plans and small projects as alumni. After I completed my scholarship in 2015, I have worked in five Australia Awards alumni projects and I love how it helps me to implement different ideas to help my community. It’s a life changing experience and I would say ‘Never miss a chance to grab this opportunity.” - Fathimath Sauna, Leading Teacher (Special Education), Seenu Atoll School.
Furthermore, on completion of their studies, recipients of Australia Awards also become part of the Australia Global Alumni network, connecting them to Australia, the region and each other – building an engaged and influential global network of leaders and advocates for development.
“Attending a larger university doesn’t shower us with great knowledge and leadership. Our interest in, and willingness for, the subject does. Australia Awards has it all to support your Scholarship journey. My advice is to use all this generous scheme offers throughout your time in Australia and beyond which will definitely help you significantly to acquire great knowledge and leadership.” - Mohamed Rishan, Network Planning & Revenue Management Specialist, Island Aviation Services Maldives.
