Scholarships

University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP)

There are limited scholarships available through UMAP (University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific) Endeavour and Cheung Kong Student Exchange Programme funding. These programs are designed to increase the number of Australian students undertaking exchange studies at other Universities in the region.

The Department of Education Science and Training is currently offering subsidies of $5000 per student exchange visit to assist with the cost of airfares and accommodation. This funding must be applied for in advance and is not automatically granted.

Some other partner institutions offer accommodation and tuition scholarships. Come into the international office and discuss the options or speak with your course coordinator.

The UMAP information brochure, Grants Guide, and Scholarship Application Form are available from the UMAP & Cheung Kong & Endeavour Grants downloads.
