The application 2007/2008 round will be opened on 18 June 2007 and will be closed on 7 September 2007, and will be advertised in national newspapers in June or July 2007 .

Australian Development Scholarship (ADS) are funded by the government of Australia for postgraduate study at Australian Universities. The main goal of ADS is to promote Indonesia’s human resource capacity to contribute to:
* Improving economic management;
* Strengthening democratic institutions and practise;
* Increasing the accessibility and quality of basic social services; and
* Enhancing security and stability.

ADS have played a significant role in Australia’s development cooperation program in Indonesia, with around 10.000 scholarships provided over more than 50 years. ADS continues to be a major component of the program with up to 300 scholarships offered in 2007/2008.

Please note that the ADS scholarship program is a different program to the new Australian Partnership Scholarship (APS) Program. For full details on APS go to http://www.apsprogram.or.id/

The off-shore component of the ADS Program is managed by IDP through an IDP established ADS Project Office in Jakarta to ensure efficient end effective administration of the ADS scheme in Indonesia.

Each year, the Australian Government sponsors people from some developing countries to study in Australia through Australian Development Scholarships (ADS). The Australian Development Scholarship program in Indonesia aims to promote private and public sector human resource development in areas of agreed development priority.

This will be achieved by providing post-graduate scholarships for Indonesians to study in Australia and by working in close cooperation with the Indonesian Government to deliver a program which is flexible to Indonesia’s changing training needs.

Consistent with the principles of AusAID’s education and training policy (August 1996), the ADS program will be implemented to ensure : quality (of project personnel, fellows and procedures); transparency (of selection); equity and merit (in the awarding of fellowships); access (of beneficiaries to scholarship documentation and information); and consistency (in award administration).
