Applications are open for the 2017 Mobility Grants of the New Colombo Plan, the Australian Government’s signature initiative to enhance knowledge of the Indo-Pacific among young Australians.
In 2017, the New Colombo Plan will provide around $20 million in Mobility Grants, which are awarded to Australian universities to support undergraduate students to study and undertake work-based experiences in the Indo-Pacific.
The personal and professional relationships that students build during their New Colombo Plan experiences allow them to develop first-hand knowledge of business in the Indo-Pacific region, maximising their job-readiness and giving them essential skills they can apply throughout their careers.
Over its first three years the New Colombo Plan is supporting more than 10,000 students to undertake short-term and semester-length study, research, internships and work experiences in the Indo-Pacific.
The New Colombo Plan is open to Australian undergraduate students across all disciplines, from all universities.
Further information on the Mobility Grants is available here or through the International Centre.
