The new Victoria-India Doctoral Scholarships Programme, launched by the state government of Victoria and the Australia India Institute, is among the several strategic engagement opportunities initiated by the Victorian government to woo Indian students.
The nine universities in the state have agreed to provide a full tuition waiver to Indian students, and the scholarships will support living costs and education-related travel.
The scheme was launched here by the Australian High Commissioner Peter Varghese and Amitabh Mattoo, director of the Australia India Institute, Melbourne, along with Victoria's Commissioner to India Geoffrey Conaghan.
"This generous scholarship is a great opportunity for some of India's smartest researchers to pursue their doctoral studies at Victoria's universities," Varghese said.
"The academic communities of India and Australia are working more closely together than ever before," he added.
