The Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships are internationally competitive scholarships which promote knowledge, education links and enduring ties between Australia and its neighbors. Categories include vocational education and training, professional development, research fellowships and postgraduate Masters and PhD scholarships.
Many of the scholarships are in the fields of education, agriculture, engineering, health, information technology, management, society and culture and natural and physical sciences across 26 Australian universities.
Students will be given real world practical study experience to assist with their qualifications and help them build global skills and perspectives; gain access to leaders in their field of study, business and government, and develop ongoing education, research and professional linkages that often last well beyond their program. Besides, they are able to share in experiences to deepen their understanding of another culture.
Applications for the 2019 round of Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships will open in early April 2018 and close on June 30th./.
