ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIPS
The scholarships are open to the private and public sectors. Priority is given to fields of study that assist development goals. From time to time the governments of Australia and Indonesia review these criteria and adjust the emphasis of the program.
The broad areas of agreed priority are Development Administration, Management and Business Development, Governance, Social and Human Development, Education and Training Agriculture, Engineering and Science.
Keeping in mind these priorities, Australia and Indonesia remain responsive to development needs. For example in 1999 in response to Indonesia's economic crisis, sixty scholarships were set aside for disciplines relating to Indonesia's economic reform program such as finance, accounting, economics, law and business.
Merit and equity are paramount. Equal numbers of awards are given to men and women and a fixed proportion is set aside for the Eastern province in line with Australia's special interest in that part of Indonesia.
