Description Scholarships have been a feature of the Australian Government's engagement in South and West Asia since the start of the Colombo Plan in the 1950s, and they represent a key pillar of the Australian aid program. Australia Awards funded through the aid program are provided to build the skills and knowledge of individuals so they contribute to their country's development, and to support the ongoing development of links between Australia and the countries to which it provides aid. The Australia Awards in South and West Asia Investment (AASWAI) provides the management, operational and administrative resources required across the participating countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Maldives, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan). The total value of this investment is $28.9 million over 4 years, starting 2014-15.
