International scholarships for students from developing countries in Australia?

I'm from a developing country and interested in studying in Australia. Are there any international scholarships that could help cover the costs?

There are indeed several scholarships and grants designed specifically for international students from developing countries who wish to pursue their education in Australia.

One of the most prestigious scholarship programs for international students in Australia is the Australia Awards Scholarships, which is funded by the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This scholarship covers tuition fees, return air travel, health coverage, and a living allowance.

The International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS) program is another government-funded scholarship. It aims to attract high-quality postgraduate students to areas of research and expertise within Australia's higher education sector.

Several universities also offer their own scholarships to international students. For instance, The University of Sydney offers the Vice-Chancellor's International Scholarships, which range in value up to AUD $40,000 (approximately US $30,000) toward students' tuition fees.

The University of Melbourne also has scholarships for international students such as the Melbourne Research Scholarship, which provides living allowances, relocation grants, and thesis allowances.

There are also 'destination-specific' scholarships for international students who intend to study in certain regions of Australia, like the Destination Australia Program, which can be up to AUD $15,000 per year.

Bear in mind that each of these scholarships will have specific eligibility criteria that you'll have to meet. Start your scholarship search as early as possible to give yourself the best chance of securing funding. It's also a good idea to reach out to the universities' international student offices for guidance on their individual scholarship programs and the application processes.

Remember that while these scholarships can significantly reduce your study costs, they may not cover all expenses. Planning a budget ahead of time might be useful.
