> Promote knowledge, education links and enduring ties between Australia and its neighbors through scholarship programs
> Estimated at $200 million supporting around 5,000 international students to study in Australia
> Variety of educational, research and professional development opportunities
Australia provides scholarships for developing countries, such as the
Philippines because:
> Scholarships develop leaders who are capable of driving their own country’s development to meet current and emerging challenges such as poverty, climate change, maternal and child health, gender equality, transnational security and good governance
> Australia’s scholarships support the best and brightest individuals who are able to
work with their governments and communities, with each other, and with Australia to meet regional and global challenges
> Since the Colombo Plan was established in the early 1950s Australia has provided
more than 100,000 scholarships across the globe. Australia has provided access to educational institutions through scholarship programs
