Applications for scholarships commencing January 2007 now being accepted. Closing date for applications: 18 August, 2006

Carnegie Mellon University-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 study at the university's Heinz School in Adelaide, Australia.

Scholarships are awarded to students undertaking either the Master of Science in Public Policy and Management (MSPPM) or the Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT). Both programs are full-time and one-year in duration.

Scholarship benefits include full tuition, return economy airfares, a contribution to living expenses, and basic medical insurance. Applicants must satisfy both AusAID's general eligibility criteria and the specific criteria established for their country of citizenship.

A detailed listing of eligible countries, criteria (general eligibility and country specific), and scholarship benefits can be found by visiting the AusAID website at www.ausaid.gov.au.

Applications for the January 2007 intake are now being accepted. Simply go to the Admissions section of this site to commence an online application. Carnegie Mellon University-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.
