New Colombo Plan
The New Colombo Plan (NCP) is an initiative of the Australian Government that aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia and strengthen our relationships through study and work placement in the region. The NCP Scholarship provides an opportunity for high achieving undergraduate students to undertake study, internships and language training in the Indo-Pacific region.
Scholarship recipients must undertake a study program for at least one semester, or up to two semesters in duration, for which they will receive credit at their home university. The program also includes provision for relevant language studies and internship/ mentorship components.
UQ Employability Award

It is essentially a learning program that will guide you through a range of experiences and reflections to unlock your potential.
