The 2013 Intake of the Australian Development Scholarship Awards for African students, offered by the Australian Government, is open for application! The Scholarship is for Master’s Degree and Short Course Awards.
The Australia Awards for Africa is an initiative of the Australian Government aimed to maximise the benefit of the Australian Government's extensive scholarship programs, and to support enduring ties between Australia and neighbouring Countries. Australian Development Scholarships (ADS) are available for full-time Postgraduate Diploma or Master degree studies at Australian universities.
