AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT INVITES LEBANESE STUDENTS TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDY IN AUSTRALIA
Australia is one of the world’s leading international education providers, offering a quality education experience that is challenging, exciting and rewarding. The education relationship between Lebanon and Australia is strong, with almost 400 Lebanese students enrolled in higher education programmes in Australia.
The Australian Scholarships and Endeavour Programme will provide $1.4 billion (AUD) over five years, for 19,000 awards that will be allocated on merit to students from through the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, South Asia and Europe.
The Australian Scholarships and Endeavour Programme enables students, researchers and professionals from around the world to travel to Australia, and provides opportunities for Australians to undertake study, research or professional development abroad. The Australian Government hopes this initiative will strengthen Australia’s education relationships internationally allowing students and researchers to form enduring personal and institutional linkages.
Lebanese students, academics and professionals are invited to apply for the following, international awards:
1. Endeavour Postgraduate Awards - for students to undertake postgraduate study in Australia in any field, for up to 3½ years.
2. Endeavour Research Fellowships – for students to undertake research for 4-6 months in Australia.
3. Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarships – provides scholarships to students to undertake a Masters or PhD in Australia.
4. Endeavour Executive Awards – provides an opportunity for high achievers in business, industry, education and government to undertake professional development in Australia for between one and four months.
5. Endeavour Vocation and Technical Education Awards – for students to undertake a vocational and technical education diploma or advanced diploma in any field of study, for up to 2½ years.
