Semester Grant Semester grants enable students to participate in Mobility Projects that: entail full-time study overseas for a semester as defined by the host institution, and provide credit/count towards the course requirements for the Australian course of study in which the student is enrolled A semester grant provides between $3,000 and $7,000 per student. Internship Grant Internship Grants are available for semester-based mobility projects that include an internship component in addition to semester study.
