Dear colleagues

We invite you to share this information with your colleagues and key contacts. Attached is an advertisement for these scholarships.

The Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) Scholarships is one of the scholarship programs under the Australia Awards initiative which was launched by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in November 2009. The Scholarships are offered to high achievers from the region to undertake postgraduate study in Australia, at Masters and Doctorate levels.In Myanmar, priority will be given to study programs addressing the following areas: health, water and sanitation, rural development and food security, basic education, protection of vulnerable populations, economic growth, gender, disability or environment.
