Australia Awards Scholarships are prestigious international awards offered by the Australian Government to the next generation of global leaders in developing countries. Through study and research, recipients develop the skills and knowledge to drive change and help build enduring people-to-people links with Australia.
Besides AAS, the Australian Government will provide additional scholarships under the Mekong-Australia Partnership (MAP) this year. These scholarships offer exclusive access to an on-award enrichment program and create opportunities for enduring connections between MAP scholars across the Mekong subregion.
Applicants are assessed on their professional and personal qualities, academic competence and, most importantly, their potential to impact on development challenges in Vietnam.
Applications are strongly encouraged from women, people with disability and other marginalised groups. A support scheme is available to assist equal participation by people with disability and from other marginalised groups.
For Australia Awards in Vietnam Intake 2026, studies commence from June 2026 and be subject to approval of Government of Australia and Government of Vietnam.
