Endeavour Awards

The 2011 round will open on 5 April 2010. Please check the Endeavour Awards website closer to April 2010 for further information.

The Endeavour Awards is the Australian Government’s internationally competitive, merit-based scholarship program providing opportunities for citizens of the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Europe and Americas to undertake study, research and professional development in Australia.  Awards are also available for Australians to undertake study, research and professional development abroad.

The Endeavour Awards aim to:

  • Develop on-going educational, research and professional linkages between individuals, organisations and countries;
  • Provide opportunities for high achieving individuals from Australia and overseas to increase their skills and enhance their global awareness;
  • Contribute to Australia’s position as a high quality education and training provider, and a leader in research and innovation; and
  • Increase the productivity of Australians through an international study, research or professional development experience.

       

The Endeavour Awards are a part of the Australia Awards initiative which was announced by the Prime Minister in November 2009.  The Australia Awards have been established to maximise the benefit to Australia of its extensive scholarship programs, and to support enduring ties between Australia and our neighbours.

The Australia Awards will bring together the international development awards administrated by the Australia Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations’ (DEEWR) Endeavour Awards under a single recognisable brand.  The Australia Awards are being progressively phased in commencing in 2010.  Further information is available at www.AustraliaAwards.gov.au.

If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident, Endeavour Award opportunities are available from the Australian Applicants section. If you are a citizen or permanent resident of a country other than Australia, Endeavour Award opportunities are available from the International Applicants section.
