Carnegie Mellon University-AusAID Scholarship

Carnegie Mellon University-AusAID (CMU-AusAID) Scholarships are funded by the Australian Government to support a limited number of students from countries where Australia has a bilateral aid program, to undertake a Masters degree at the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University's campus in Adelaide, Australia.
CMU-AusAID Scholarships are only available to students who have already been offered a place at Carnegie-Mellon University in either of the two courses available under this program.
Objectives of the CMU-AusAID Scholarships
CMU-AusAID Scholarships aim to strengthen human resource capacity in partner countries in public policy, management and information technology. CMU-AusAID Scholarships enable individuals from partner countries to gain high-level skills and knowledge in these areas, so that they can contribute to the economic and social development of their home countries. Therefore, scholarship holders are expected to return to their country of citizenship at the completion of their scholarship for a minimum period of two years in order to contribute to the development of their country.

Conditions of a CMU-AusAID Scholarship

The most significant condition relating to the Carnegie Mellon University-AusAID scholarship is that students are required to return to their country of citizenship for at least two years after completing their scholarship, to contribute to the economic and social development of their country. Failure to do so will incur a debt to the Commonwealth of Australia for the total value of the scholarship.
