ACIAR Scholarships and Fellowships

ACIAR scholarships and fellowships will help individuals from key in-country agricultural research organizations develop their skills. The focus of these programs is to train in leadership and research management, along with building research networks in Australia and with one another. Following is the detail of some of these programs:

John Allwright Fellowship Program

The John Allwright Fellowship (JAF) program allows scientists from partner countries who are currently or have recently been involved in ACIAR research projects to pursue postgraduate degrees at Australian tertiary institutions. The Fellowship’s primary goal is strengthening scientific research capacity in ACIAR partner country institutions.
