Australia Awards Scholarships
Australian Government
Full tuition, return airfare, establishment allowance and living stipend
An estimate of the tuition and living costs this removes, at typical course prices for the destination. The funder does not publish a rupee figure, treat this as the scale of the prize, not a quotation.
Who actually wins it
Mid-career professionals in Nepal's priority sectors who can show what they will change on return, not the highest GPA in the room.
What they ask for
- Nepali citizen resident in Nepal
- Bachelors degree with strong results
- Two years' relevant work experience is usually expected
- Must return to Nepal for two years after the award
How to apply, in order
- 1Read the Nepal country profile when it opens, usually February, the priority sectors change each round and applying outside them wastes the attempt.
- 2Get your two years of relevant work experience documented with dated employment letters.
- 3Draft the development-impact answers early; these carry more weight than grades.
- 4Submit before the April or May close. Late is not accepted.
- 5Expect an interview if shortlisted.
For applicants from Nepal
Nepal is a participating country and has its own annual allocation. Priority sectors change each round, check the Nepal profile page.
Before you count on it
Build your plan on funds you actually have, and treat a scholarship as a reduction if it arrives. Visa officers assess the money you can evidence today, not an award you have applied for.
Application windows are the usual months, not fixed dates, and rules change between rounds. Always confirm on the funder's own page before planning around one.
