The ASEAN-Australian Defence Postgraduate Scholarship Program (AADPSP), which was established as one of the initiatives from the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit on 18 March 2018, commenced in early 2019 to foster cooperation and further equip ASEAN practitioners in the field of regional defense engagement through a two (2) year Master of Strategic Studies postgraduate degree. This program is the first of its kind for ASEAN defense officials.
