G20 “Recover Together, Recover Stronger” Scholarships
G20 “Recover Together, Recover Stronger” Scholarships are prestigious international awards offered by the Australian Government to the next generation of global leaders from Indonesia. Through study and research, recipients develop the skills and knowledge to drive change and help build enduring people-to-people links with Australia.
The G20 “Recover Together, Recover Stronger” Scholarships were announced by the Australian Prime Minister on his recent visit to Indonesia. Ten scholarships in total will be offered for Indonesians to undertake Masters or PhDs in Australia. The Scholarships will be awarded specifically for courses that fit under Indonesia’s G20 priority areas.
The Scholarships will include an enhanced in-Australia experience that may include visits to Parliament and meetings with high-level government and industry leaders.
