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.
