Australia Awards 2013

The Australian Government is pleased to announce education scholarships. The Australia Awards aim to promote knowledge, education links and enduring ties between Australia and our neighbours through Australia’s extensive scholarship programs.

• Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) Scholarships are long term development awards (2-3 years) for study at Masters or Doctoral levels at an Australian higher education institution. ALA Scholarships aim at addressing priority development areas by enhancing leadership and building partnerships and linkages within developing countries. 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 or region.

For Thailand, candidates from Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala, or those who work on issues relating to these three southern provinces in Thailand are especially encouraged to apply.

Applications for ALA Scholarships in academic year 2013 open on 1 February 2012 and close on 30 April 2012. For detailed information on application of ALA Scholarships please visit http://www.ausaid.gov.au/scholar/how-to-apply.cfm  and http://www.ausaid.gov.au/scholar/pdf/thailand.pdf
