The Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) aim to develop leadership and build
partnerships and linkages within the Asia-Pacific, while addressing priority
development issues of the region.
The ALA program comprises ALA Scholarships and ALA Fellowships. These awards are
for leaders or those who have potential for leadership roles that can influence
social and economic reform, both in their own countries and in the Asia-Pacific
region.
ALA Scholarships are for study at Masters or Doctorate level in an Australian
university. Study programs must relate to a priority development area:
disability, economic growth, education, environment, food security, gender,
governance, health, human rights, infrastructure, regional stability, rural
development, water and sanitation. ALA scholars also undertake a Leadership
Development Program in Australia.
As ALA Scholarships are an investment in the future of the Asia-Pacific region,
ALA scholars are required to return to their home country or the region for two
years after they have completed their studies in Australia.
Selection for ALA Scholarships is competitive, based on leadership qualities,
academic excellence and potential impact on return home.
To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following criteria.
