Abstract: New Colombo Plan (NCP) Mobility Grant funding from the Australian Government is a key enabler of overseas programs such as the Design Summits. The NCP supports Australian undergraduate students to study in the Indo-Pacific Region to lift the knowledge of the region. Australian universities bid for funding through the program [29]. As an example, these scholarships usually cover 80% of EWB-A program participation costs, enabling broader student participation, while still requiring financial commitment from the students. Almost AUD 5 million has been successfully awarded to programs with Humanitarian Engineering outcomes since the program began in 2014.
