Scholarships

Many schools in Australia offer scholarships for international students. There are also government-sponsored scholarships available that you can take advantage of. Either way, they regularly update their requirements and policies, so it’s best to visit the official website of each scholarship or program.

Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships

The Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships, the Australian Government’s internationally competitive, merit-based scholarships, provide opportunities for citizens of participating countries including Cambodia to undertake vocational or post-graduate study, research and professional development in Australia.

Australia Awards 

The Australia Awards aim to promote knowledge, education links and enduring ties between Australia and our neighbours through Australia's extensive scholarship programs.  The Australia Awards initiative will, over time, build a new generation of global leaders with strong links to Australia. Australia Awards bring together international scholarships provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Department of Education, and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research. 

The Australian Government offers Australia Awards Scholarships on the basis of merit, transparency and equal access, and encourages applications from women and minority groups. Special consideration will be accorded to people with disability and those directly working with PWD-recognised organisations.

Australian Government Research Training Program

The RTP provides block grants, on a calendar year basis, to higher education providers (HEPs) to support both domestic and overseas students undertaking Research Doctorate and Research Masters degrees, known as higher degrees by research (HDRs).

Students can be offered RTP scholarships for one or more of the following:
