Australian Regional Development Scholarships (ARDS)

Provider:

Government of Australia

Handler:

AusAID

Study Level:

Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate Degrees

Deadline:

Depending on your country

Summary:

Australian Regional Development Scholarships provide opportunities to people from some developing countries to study at selected education institutions outside Australia.

The purpose of the scholarships is for people to gain knowledge and skills which will help the development of their home country.

The scholarships are offered for the minimum period that the individual could be expected to complete the academic program. Scholarships may include preparatory programs (including English language tuition) which are normally limited to one year.

Applicants considering studying for particular professions (eg medicine, legal studies, etc) should note that they are expected to complete their practical training in their own country. Only under exceptional circumstances do scholarships include a practical training period required for professional registration.

Field of Study:

Australian Regional Development Scholarship students study a wide range of disciplines at selected education institutions in the Pacific region.

The scholarship numbers and fields of study for each country are determined annually as part of Australia's bilateral development assistance program with that country.

Some countries may limit the level of study (technical, undergraduate or postgraduate) and give priority to certain fields of study to better meet development needs.

Currently Australian Regional Development Scholarships are offered to people from the Pacific to study at Pacific tertiary institutions in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa.

Country specific information is available from the Australian Diplomatic Mission in the country of citizenship.

Nations Covered:

Australian Regional Development Scholarships are currently restricted to Pacific countries such as Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu.

Enquiries about scholarships should be made with the Australian Diplomatic Mission. For example, scholarship information for citizens of the Solomon Islands is only available from the Australian Diplomatic Mission in Honiara.

Type of Scholarship:

Scholarship entitlements vary between countries and institution of enrolment.

Generally entitlements cover a return airfare from your home country to the country of study, academic and other compulsory fees, an establishment allowance and a living allowance paid fortnightly.

In some countries the living allowance may be paid at a higher rate when the student is joined long term by one or more family members. No assistance is available with the airfares of family members.

Eligibility:

Applicants compete on their merit which includes academic achievement and other selection criteria. The selection criteria vary between countries and are developed jointly by the Australian and partner governments.

AusAID has a gender/equity policy (half of the scholarships are awarded to women and half to men).

To be eligible for a scholarship applicants must:

• be a citizen of and a resident in the ARDS participating country

• meet specific eligibility criteria imposed by the Government of the applicant's country of citizenship
• satisfy host government's immigration requirements for regional students
• not hold another scholarship during the period of the ARDS
• not be transferring from another scholarship
• not hold or have held an Australian Government Scholarship in the two years preceding the proposed time of commencement of the ARDS (excluding Papua New Guinea Secondary School Project students)

Scholarship Conditions

Conditions include:

• studying full time and meeting all course requirements
