Australia is one of the best countries to go to if you want to live your life as you learn and grow. The country offers a good quality of education and has strong international reputation of excellence. International students can apply at a university/higher education, vocational and technical education, schools or English language training centre.

Students who intend to travel to Australia to study must have a student visa, and application process of which will vary depending on the country where you are from.

An education agent’s main job is to help international students with their applications and visas. They will help you with all the processing, but just like any other college application, you are still expected to do something yourself.

In choosing your education agent, you must ensure that they are legitimate, have good reputation, and do good dealings. You can check out a list made by Pier Online of those agents that have completed the Education Agent Training Course. Some education agent ask for a small amount for some additional service they offer, but most of them do not charge for their service since they receive commission from the education provider you will be choosing.

Scholarships are also offered to those interested applicants. These are offered by the Australian Government as well as various education institutions and organisations.

Australia Awards has extensive scholarship programs that aim to promote knowledge for international and local students. It is comprised of two streams namely: achievement stream and development stream. Achievement stream aims for brilliant students, researchers and professionals to go and study in Australia while development stream aims to “build capacity in developing countries”.

You can try out the three programs offered by Australia Awards—Endeavour Awards, Australian Leadership Awards or Australian Development Scholarships.
