Applications for the 2020 Hamer Scholarships Program are now open.

The Victorian Government Hamer Scholarships Program is a language, cultural immersion and business engagement program that builds the Asia capabilities of Victorians and Victorian businesses.

The Hamer Scholarships Program provides $10,000 each for China or Indonesia, or $15,000 each for Japan or Korea.

Please note the Victorian Government will continue to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak and will provide advice as appropriate to successful applicants.

What’s new?

The program has been revamped in 2020 with a sharpened business focus, supporting Victorian businesses to strengthen their Asia-engagement.
