Current Grant Opportunity View - GO7006

The NCP, launched in 2014, aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduates to study and undertake internships in the region. The NCP Scholarship Program provides scholarships to a diverse cohort of Australian university students to undertake offshore programs including study, internships, mentorships, and language training for up to 19 months in eligible Indo-Pacific host locations. The strategic objective of the NCP is to strengthen Australia’s regional standing by building a diverse cohort of Australian alumni with deeper Indo-Pacific knowledge, capability and connections. The intended outcomes of the NCP are: increased number and diversity of Australian university graduates with Indo-Pacific capability; deeper people-to-people and institutional relationships between Australia and the Indo-Pacific; and students and alumni connected with leaders in government, business and civil society in the Indo-Pacific.
