AUSTRALIA AWARDS
Australia Awards, a cornerstone of the Australian Government’s development assistance program for Africa, provide access to postgraduate education, training and professional development opportunities for suitably qualified Africans from eligible countries.
The Australia Awards Africa Scholarship program combines Masters, Fellowships and Short Course opportunities to build skills and capabilities in key sectors, thereby contributing to social and economic development outcomes for African nations.
Australia Awards directly support Australia's interests in the security, stability, and prosperity of the African continent by strengthening African leadership and skills in fields such as climate change, agriculture and food security, climate change and adaptation, mining and energy, foreign policy and international security and gender, disability, and social inclusion. We focus on those sectors where Australia and African nations have shared interests and where Australia has world-leading expertise to offer.
Applicants are assessed on their professional and personal qualities, academic competence and, most importantly, their potential to positively impact inclusive development in eligible countries.
Applications are strongly encouraged from women, people with disability and other marginalised groups. Please visit GEDSI Support Hub for additional information about how the Program supports inclusivity.
