Australia Awards Scholarships

Australia Awards Scholarships are prestigious international scholarships funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). These awards support individuals from eligible countries to undertake full-time TAFE, undergraduate or postgraduate study at participating Australian institutions. Swinburne has been proudly involved in the Australia Awards scholarship program for over 20 years. At Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Awards scholars benefit from a vibrant academic environment, industry-connected learning, and personalised support services that empower them to become leaders of change in their home countries. The scholarships aim to foster enduring people-to-people links and contribute to the development priorities of partner nations through education, capacity building, and knowledge exchange.
