Hello,
this is Valeriy Leletko. Welcome to Ask About Admissions screencast. Australia.
This country is one of the leaders on the international education market
hundreds of thousands of international students come annually to Australian
colleges and universities.
Far not every prospective international student
can pay for education in Australia on its own and they want to know
what financial aid offers this country to such studnets. Right now we go to
explore Australian scholarships for international students.
There are two major groups of scholarships: scholarships coming from Australian
Government
and scholarships coming from Australian educational institutions and
other organizations. The scholarships cover various educational sectors. Undergraduate
and post graduate study and research
vocational education and training and also student exchanges.
some scholarships partially cover expenses related to education but
there are more attractive full scholarships for international students
in Australia.
Let's get started searching for scholarships. Australian Government
scholarships for international students. Australian Government has done just
excellent job and created this site Australia awards dot G O V dot A U
that is a convenient entry point to start your search for Australian Government
scholarships for international students.
I click "participating countries"
and we can see that in general scholarship programs cover the entire
world. You can download printed version of the page and work
with the pdf version of the document off line
or scroll down and check out availability of a particular scholarship for your country.
Click on the name of a scholarship at the table header opens a page dedicated to
this particular program
at the moment i'm making this screencast this site doesn't cover two more
Australian Government scholarships for international students.
The first one is International Postgraduate Research Scholarships
IPRS
information on the scholarship program regulations
provides site Innovation dot G O V dot A U which is one of the official
Australian Government sites.
The second program which is not presented at the Australian Awards site
is Australian Postgraduate Awards. APA.
Information on this program can also be found on the site
Innovation dot G O V dot A U.
A short note.
Applications for IPRS and APA
should be made directly to participating universities.
this site provides just generic information about IPRS and APA.
Now when you know where to search for the Australian Government scholarships time
to get familiar where to search for
Australian universities scholarships for international students.
Again, thanks to care of the Australian Government there is an excellent
starting point for this search which is study in australia
dot G O V dot AU.
one thing I would like to mention about this site it's available in multiple
languages.
If to scroll down to the bottom
we can see language selection section here. At this moment the site is available in
twelve different languages. No doubt
it gives some additional convenience
but the major point of our interest here is this tiny phrase
find a scholarship
and I click it.
When the page loads we can see a minor disappointment here that this page
is only available in English but it's still OK
because it's so time saving when at a single place
in a few mouse clicks you can create a quiery and get a customized list
of scholarships
that match your parameters.
This page provides an interface and gives you an opportunity to search in a
comprehensive database.
The database is kept up to date and gives you results related to all
possible scholarships coming from Australian universities and other
organizations.
Now you have all information necessary to search for scholarships available to
international students studying in Australia.
We hope this screencast will help you to understand where to find
information and apply for Australian scholarships for international students.
If you still have questions ask them in comments to the screencast. You will
definitely get a response. Thanks for watching and see you next time, this was
