Australian Leadership Awards Scholarships 2011
Applications for the 2011 intake open on 10 March 2010 and close on 30 June 2010
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.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
My name is Kundi Gelgelu from Ethiopia. I have MA degree in TEFL and teaching English Language in Mizan –Tepi University, which is among the newly established Ethiopian Universities. As far as it is new and located in remotest area, the university has scarcity of well trained and proficient English Language teachers. For your surprise, there is no a single teacher having Doctor of Philosophy in the staff. Therefore, in order to alleviate this problem I am looking for PHD scholarship in Language and Technology so that I can help myself and my country. I am interested in your university believing that you are more cooperative. Would you please, give me this golden opportunity! Please, use kundigelgelu@gmail.com. Thank you very much!
hi. it was a question for me too.
i belive the justice, what about you?
