The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) offers scholarships and fellowships to people from eligible developing countries. These study awards have been developed in partnership with government and private organisations to promote growth and stability and contribute to the alleviation of poverty. AusAID aims to allocate study awards on a gender equal basis and encourages people with disabilities and people from social and ethnic minorities to apply. There are currently three primary AusAID study award programs that offer study and professional development opportunities to be undertaken in Australia.
