2020 New Colombo Plan Scholarships Round

Overview

The New Colombo Plan (NCP) is a signature initiative of the Australian Government, which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduate students to study and undertake internships in the region. The NCP Scholarship Program objectives are to:  provide around 120 prestigious and highly-competitive Scholarships to a diverse range of Australian undergraduates studying a breadth of disciplines; support more study experiences in a broad range of Indo-Pacific locations; encourage Scholars to undertake longer term study, language study and an Internship and/or Mentorship; engage Scholars, Australian Universities and other stakeholders in public diplomacy and outreach; and continue to develop an active Scholar alumni community for previous Scholars to share their experiences, promote the NCP and continue to develop knowledge of and professional links with the Indo-Pacific region.
