Australia Awards aim to promote knowledge, education links and enduring ties between Australia, our neighbours and the global community. The Australia Awards bring together the international scholarships offered by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) [Development Awards] and the Australian Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE) [Endeavour Awards] into a single recognisable brand.

Student Development - International (SDI) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) manages two of the Development Awards which are the Australian Development Scholarships (ADS) and the Australian Leadership Awards Scholarships (ALAS). In addition, SDI manages scholarships offered by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) which is an Australian Government statutory authority that operates within the portfolio of Foreign Affairs and Trade. We also provide assistance to students at UNSW on an Endeavour Award.
