What are the Australia Awards?
The Australia Awards are a whole-of-government
initiative bringing together scholarships and
fellowships administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
the Department of Education and the Australian Centre
for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR),
offering the next generation of global leaders an opportunity
to undertake study, research and professional development in
Australia and for high-achieving Australians to do
the same overseas.
Why are the Australia Awards important?
The Australian Government recognises that
education develops skills and knowledge, builds
enduring people, country and professional links, and has the power to
influence positive change.
The Awards strive to develop leadership
potential and stimulate lasting change by empowering a
global network of talented individuals through high-quality education
experiences in Australia and overseas.
Recipients return home with new ideas and
knowledge, and the ability to make a significant
contribution to their home countries as leaders in their field.
The Awards also demonstrate Australia's
commitment to providing education opportunities to
improve living standards and stimulate economic growth in developing
countries.
For Australia, the Awards build an engaged and
influential global network of leaders, advocates and
change-makers and establish a network of ambassadors across the world.
The Awards also contribute to the productivity
of Australia and the development of people-to-people
links between Australia, our regional neighbours and the broader
international community.
