Australian Development Scholarships (ADS)

Australian development scholarships (ads) provide opportunities for people from selected developing countries to study in australia.

Ads have replaced most scholarships previously offered by ausaid, namely australian sponsored training assistance scholarships (astas) and australian development cooperation scholarships (adcos).

Objectives of ADS

Australian development scholarships allow people to gain knowledge and skills which will help the development of their home country when they return home after finishing their study.

Categories of ads scholarships

There are two categories of scholarships

Public sector governments in partner countries nominate candidates for the public sector category.
Open/equity applicants do not need to be nominated by their government or employer. Anyone who meets the selection criteria may apply.

Eligibility you are only eligible for an australian development scholarship (ads) if you are a citizen of one of the countries listed below. If your country of citizenship is not listed below and you wish to consider other scholarship opportunities to study in australia information is available at http//aei.detya.gov.au/  

Enquiries about scholarships should be made with the australian diplomatic mission in the country of citizenship. For example, scholarship information for citizens of indonesia is only available from the australian diplomatic mission in jakarta. Diplomatic missions in other countries or ausaid offices in australia cannot provide country specific information about the availability of scholarships.

Selection

Applicants for ads must satisfy both the general eligibility criteria and specific criteria established for each country.

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

  • Satisfy australian government requirements for international student entry to australia (health and character checks, etc.); not hold another scholarship during the period of the ads;

What to study

Australian Development Scholarship students study a wide range of disciplines at Australian universities and most technical training institutions.

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.

Country specific information is available from the relevant Australian Diplomatic Mission and from AusAID Scholarships Country Specific Information.

Length of scholarships

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 does ADS include a practical training period required for professional registration.

Conditions

Applicants who are offered a scholarship will be asked to sign an undertaking declaring that they will comply with the conditions of that scholarship. Partner countries may impose their own conditions on the scholarship.

Conditions include

  • studying full time in Australia

  • restrictions on employment in Australia

  • complying with conditions set down by the institution

  • achieving satisfactory academic progress

  • accepting that the scholarship may be withdrawn by the Australian Government

  • leaving Australia and returning to the home country on completion of the scholarship

  • restrictions on returning to Australia within 2 years of the completion of the scholarship

  • repaying the total amount of the scholarship if conditions (f) or (g) are not adhered to

Benefits

Scholarship entitlements cover a return airfare to Australia, academic and other compulsory fees, basic health insurance, an establishment allowance and a living allowance paid fortnightly.

The living allowance is 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.

For the financial year commencing 1 July 1998, the following benefits are paid (in Australian dollars) to students in receipt of an Australian Development Scholarship

 

Living Allowance

Unaccompanied rate $15,684.00 per annum ($601.58 per fortnight)

Accompanied rate $21,262.00 per annum ( $815.50 per fortnight)

 

Establishment Allowance

$1,677 at the beginning of each long-term award.
