Australia offers 400 scholarships to E. Nusa Tenggara

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 03/25/2011

The Australian government is offering up to 400 postgraduate scholarships exclusively to residents of the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara.

“This year we are offering 400 scholarships, for master's and doctoral degrees, to East Nusa Tenggara,” Australia Awards Promotion coordinator Nunik Kristiani said Friday in Kupang, the provincial capital.

Nunik made the statement after a meeting with East Nusa Tenggara Governor Frans Lebu Raya, during which she asked for the latter's permission to promote the program, as well as his support.

“We hope people in East Nusa Tenggara are interested in pursuing postgraduate studies,” Nunik said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

She said East Nusa Tenggara was Australia's top priority in its scholarship program aimed at Indonesians.

Nunik said a three-month English course would be provided for interested applicants.
