Overview
Australia awards are prestigious international scholarships managed by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
Australian Awards Scholarships provide opportunities for candidates from Australia's partner countries to undertake full time study in Australian tertiary and technical institutions, including the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
The targeted fields of study under the Australia Awards Scholarships differs from country to country and are determined by the recipient countries human resource and development needs and in accordance with Australia's bilateral aid program.
