Student Exchange Australia and New Zealand


We are delighted to advise that the next deadline for Student Exchange Scholarship Applications for all Semester and Year Programs departing between October 2014 - March 2015 is Monday, 31st March 2014.

Scholarships are open to students between 15-18 years of age and offer the unique opportunity to live and study overseas for a semester or year. Students' language skills improve, their independence and maturity is enhanced and they gain an important edge when it comes to future career and study opportunities.

Each year we offer 12 scholarships valued from $2,500 up to $10,800. Students don't need to be A-grade to apply and the top language student doesn't necessarily win. Your career advisor, creative art and/or language teachers may be interested to promote our scholarships.

  • 2 x Indigenous Scholarship. Valued at up to $10,800 each - these scholarships are available to eligible indigenous students from Australia and New Zealand. 
  • 5 x Language Scholarships. Valued at up to $3,500 each - these scholarships offer language students the chance to immerse themselves in the language and culture of their choice.
  • 2 x International Affairs Scholarship. Valued at up to $3,500 each - these scholarships offer those with a keen interest in international affairs a chance to sample the world first hand.
  • 3 x Digital Video Scholarships. Valued at up to $3,500 each - these scholarships offer creative students the chance to immerse themselves in the country and culture of their choice by demonstrating their personal story and goals for an exchange through a creative video.

Students can also make a saving of up to $1,000 off the program fee with an Early Bird Discount:

  • $1,000 discount for programs of 10-12 months

  • $500 discount for programs of 5-7 months

  • $250 discount for programs of 2-3.5 months

 The deadline for Early Bird Applications is Monday, 31st March.

 Below is an excerpt from one of our previous scholarship applications.

 "I hope to obtain lifelong skills that I can take back to Australia such as new communication skills, friendships and a new perspective of the world.  This will assist me in a career as a Japanese translator or a Japanese teacher.  I am so grateful that I get to live out my dream, it is really surreal to think that I was chosen for something so amazing."  Tayla, Language Scholarship Award Winner from QLD.
