Adelaide Scholarships International (ASI) – Study in Australia

Introduction.

 

The University of Adelaide is one of the most renowned academic establishments in Australia and its Adelaide Scholarships International (ASI) program is looking to attract outstanding postgraduate students from overseas in order to study at the University of Adelaide and to help the research effort.

The number of scholarships is limited and the only ones who can access them are international students. Therefore, Australian residents are not allowed to apply for these scholarships.

We also want to mention that the level and field of study that is targeted by the Adelaide Scholarships International (ASI) is any master’s degree by research or doctoral research degree which is offered by the University of Adelaide, Australia. With that said, let’s go ahead and check out what are the benefits that these scholarships have to offer.
