The New Colombo Plan (NCP) offers you the opportunity to benefit from study and internships/mentorships in the Indo Pacific region for up to 18 months. The NCP is a signature initiative from the Australian Government to increase knowledge of the Indo Pacific with a committed $51 million to support 120 NCP scholarships commencing in 2023.
We can nominate up to 10 eligible students and nominees are not ranked in any order by us and have equal chances against students from across the country. If we receive more than 10 applications, a committee will determine the quality of all applications and nominate the top 10.
