See the world in 2024 while you study with a $70k scholarship!
Keen to broaden your horizons and boost your CV with an unforgettable international study experience? We encourage you to apply for a 2024 New Colombo Plan (NCP) Scholarship!
How it works
The New Colombo Plan is an Australian Government initiative that aims to lift knowledge of the Indo–Pacific region by supporting Australian undergraduates to live, study and intern in the region.
Each scholarship is worth up to $70,000 and provides you with endless educational, professional and personal development opportunities across 40 Indo–Pacific countries. Since 2017, 32 Deakin students have been awarded a scholarship – in 2024, this could be you!
