The prestigious, $7.5 million student exchange programme helps to strengthen cross cultural relationships by supporting educational exchange between students in Australia and the Asia Pacific.
Since its inception in 2005, the Cheung Kong Endeavour Australia Scholarships have enabled 985 undergraduate and post graduate students to take up placements with universities in Australia and abroad. This year, an additional 221 Australian undergraduate and postgraduate students will enhance their academic development while experiencing different societies and cultures.
These are the first jointly private and Federal Government funded scholarships of their kind in Australia.
The Cheung Kong Group is one of Australia’s largest foreign investors with local interests including CitiPower and Powercor Australia.
