Australia Awards Scholarships are prestigious study opportunities funded by the Australian Government in partnership with the Government of Papua New Guinea.
They aim to:
- develop skills and expertise of Papua New Guineans to contribute to the country’s economic growth and social development
- foster enduring links between Papua New Guinea and Australia at people-to-people and institutional levels.
Two scholarship options are available for Papua New Guinea:
- Australia Awards Scholarships – For long-term study at Australian universities and institutions
- Australia Awards In-PNG Scholarships – For long-term study at selected institutions within PNG.
Applicants are assessed on their professional and personal qualities, academic competence and, most importantly, their potential to exercise leadership and impact on development challenges in PNG.
Applications are strongly encouraged from women, people with disability, and individuals from rural and remote areas.
