BUILDING CONNECTIONS

BUILDING CONNECTIONS

THE NEW COLOMBO PLAN (NCP) IS AN INITIATIVE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT THAT AIMS TO LIFT KNOWLEDGE OF THE INDO-PACIFIC IN AUSTRALIA BY SUPPORTING AUSTRALIAN UNDERGRADUATES TO STUDY AND UNDERTAKE INTERNSHIPS IN THE REGION.

With more than 50,000 alumni, the NCP is building a diverse and increasingly influential network of Australians with direct experience in the Indo-Pacific.

Established in 2014, the NCP will continue to host a series of events and initiatives in 2025.

2025 NCP Scholarship EVENING RECEPTION

The celebrations will kick off at the 2025 NCP Scholarship Evening Reception in February 2025, where we will celebrate Australian undergraduate students who have been awarded scholarships across 40 locations in the Indo-Pacific.

Through life-changing experiences and new connections, these scholars will play an important role in deepening Australia’s links with the Indo-Pacific region.

On this site, you will find information about the Evening Reception, success stories from the program’s 10-year journey, as well as ways to be part of the NCP Alumni Program and the wider NCP community.

The site will be updated regularly to highlight events, stories and alumni professional development opportunities relevant to the NCP community.
