Australia Awards Scholarships

Australia Awards Scholarships (AAS) 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.

Australia Awards Pacific Scholarships (AAPS) provide people from Pacific developing countries with opportunities to study at selected education institutions in the Pacific region. An AAPS gives people the opportunity to gain and build the knowledge and skills to drive positive change and influence their home country's development.

The Australia Awards John Allwright Fellowship is a scholarship offered by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and co-funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). John Allwright Fellowships are awarded to partner-country scientists involved in ACIAR-supported collaborative research projects to undertake postgraduate training at Australian universities.

John Allwright Fellowships aim to enhance research capacity in ACIAR’s partner country institutions. Whilst individual awardees will benefit from the Scheme, it is important to note that partner country institutions are the key targets.
