Fully funded scholarships for students from selected developing countries (primarily in Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East) to undertake full-time undergraduate or postgraduate study in Australia. AAS cover everything: full tuition, a return airfare, an establishment allowance for setup costs, health insurance, and a regular living stipend for the duration of the degree. The scholarship also includes extra support like introductory preparatory programs and covers any necessary pre-course English training. Recipients are expected to return home after finishing (there's a requirement to leave Australia for at least 2 years after graduation, or repay the cost). These are prestigious and competitive, aimed at 'future leaders'.
