Destination Australia Scholarships program
Destination Australia provides students with the opportunity to study in regional Australia. It is a scholarship program funded by the Australian Government that supports higher education institutions located in regional and remote areas, contributing to their growth and sustainability. It provides high quality education, training, and research opportunities for students from inside and outside Australia and enables them to experience life in regional and remote areas. Ensure that the social, cultural and economic benefits that international students bring are shared with the region. You must continue to live in the region for the duration of the program.
