လင္းေဝAustralian Leadership Award Scholarships
The Australian Leadership Award Scholarships (ALA Scholarships) are long term development awards aimed at enhancing leadership and building
partnerships and linkages within developing countries, while addressing priority development areas.
Up to 200 Australian Leadership Award Scholarships will be available on an annual basis for high achievers wishing to undertake postgraduate study at
an Australian higher education institution.
Participating Australian higher education
institutions<http://www.ausaid.gov.au/scholar/ala_institutions.cfm>
ALA Scholarships target those whose chosen field of study equips them to play a significant role in addressing, researching or combating development
challenges in their country and/or region. Awardees will be provided with opportunities to enhance their leadership capacity and extend their
networks.
Selection for an ALA Scholarship is highly competitive. It is based on the applicant’s professional and personal qualities, academic competence and,
most importantly, their commitment to and potential impact on development outcomes for their country and region. Scholars are required to return to
their home country for at least two years after completing their studies in Australia.
ALA Scholarship recipients will join an Australia Awards alumni network with strong and enduring links to Australia, the region and further afield. The
network will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and information among scholarship recipients.
