The Prime Minister’s Australia Asia Endeavour Awards

The Prime Minister’s Australia Asia Endeavour Awards is a new scholarship program, which will provide scholarships for the ‘best and brightest’ university students from Australia and Asia.  This initiative is a $14.9 million commitment by the Australian Government over four years.

Forty scholarships will be awarded annually, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, valued at up to $41,500 and $63,500 respectively.  The scholarships will allow Australian students to undertake study with an internship or work placement in Asia.  Ten scholarships will also be awarded to the top international Endeavour Award scholars from Asia each year.

The second round of awards will open from 1 December 2009  - 31 January 2010 for a 2010 commencement.  Further information is available at www.endeavour.deewr.gov.au

Students need to have a GPA of at least 5 to be eligible for these awards.  Those who are interested in being considered for these awards are advised to contact the Associate Dean International in their faculty.
