The Endeavour Awards is the Australian Government’s internationally competitive, merit-based scholarship program providing opportunities for citizens of the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas to undertake study, research and professional development in Australia. Awards are also available for Australians to undertake study, research and professional development abroad.

The Endeavour Awards aim to:

• Develop on-going educational, research and professional linkages between individuals, organizations and countries,
• Provide opportunities for high achieving individuals from Australia and overseas to increase their skills and enhance their global awareness,
• Contribute to Australia’s position as a high quality education and training provider, and a leader in research and innovation, and
• Increase the productivity of Australians through an international study, research or professional development experience.

The Endeavour Awards are a part of the Australia Awards initiative. The Australia Awards have been established to maximize the benefit to Australia of its extensive scholarship programs, and to support enduring ties between Australia and our neighbors.

The Australia Awards brings together under a single recognizable brand, the Endeavour Awards administered by the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education and the international development awards administrated by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). Further information is available at the Australia Awards website.

You can read about the experiences of Australian Endeavour Award holders who have undertaken overseas study and International Endeavour Award holders who have undertaken study in Australia.
