The New Colombo Plan (NCP) is a signature initiative of the Australian Government, which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduate students to study and undertake internships in the region.
The NCP Scholarship Program objectives are to:
- provide around 120 prestigious and highly-competitive Scholarships to a diverse range of Australian undergraduates studying a breadth of disciplines;
- support more study experiences in a broad range of Indo-Pacific locations;
- encourage Scholars to undertake longer term study, language study and an Internship and/or Mentorship;
- engage Scholars, Australian Universities and other stakeholders in public diplomacy and outreach; and
- continue to develop an active Scholar alumni community for previous Scholars to share their experiences, promote the NCP and continue to develop knowledge of and professional links with the Indo-Pacific region.
