Today, Australian Development Scholarships are a very important and well recognised element of Australia's bilateral development cooperation with Vietnam, with a 150 scholarships awarded annually. This accounts for approximately 20 (or over AUD 16 million) of the current program budget.

These scholarships opportunities provided the scholars with the necessary skills and knowledge to influence the development outcomes of their own country.
