General Information Notes


Australia Awards Scholarships are an important component of Australias investment in education. In Indonesia, Australia Awards Scholarships provide opportunities to study in Australia at POSTGRADUATE level. They are provided to Indonesian citizens to provide enhanced leadership, knowledge and technical skills to the Government of Indonesia, to tertiary institutions and to strategic organisations that are driving sustainable development. Australia Awards Scholarships have been an important component of the Australian Governments efforts to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development since the 1950s. This is achieved through:

developing capacity and leadership skills so that individuals can contribute to development in Indonesia; building people-to-people linkages at individual, institutional and national levels between Indonesia and Australia.

There are a number of supplementary programs associated with Australia Awards Scholarships in Indonesia including the Australia Awards Leadership Program and the Allison Sudradjat Prize. Public applicants are from government organisations, state universities and state owned enterprises and must be approved by training or foreign cooperation bureaus (BKLN) of their local or central agencies (see page 23). Public applicants from government agencies outside Jakarta may apply directly to the AUSTRALIA AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS program office with the approval of their relevant Kakanwil or Kadinas and approval from Bupati or Governor (or representative) where necessary. Calon Pegawai Negeri Sipil (CPNS) are not eligible to apply. Open applicants are from private organisations, private universities and also include recent university graduates. No government approval is required and applications are to be submitted directly to the Australia Awards office. A letter of support from the applicants home agency, institution or private university may be included with the application. Public servants (pegawai negeri) cannot apply as open applicants. Targeted and Non-Targeted Category AUSTRALIA AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS are awarded as Targeted or Non-Targeted. Up to 70% of AUSTRALIA AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS are Targeted; available for nominated staff from Government of Indonesia Key Agencies, Targeted Sectors and from AusAID Geographic Focus Areas1.

The scholarship provides up to nine months full-time language and academic preparation in Indonesia.
