Australian Leadership Awards Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) is an initiative for the Asia Pacific region that “focuses on developing leaders who can influence social and economic policy reform and development outcomes”. ALA provides scholarships for post-graduate studies in Australia and for short-term fellowship opportunities in specialised research study or for professional attachments through participating Australian organisations. Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) is a new award under which the Australian Government offers scholarships and fellowships for current and future leaders from the Asia-Pacific Region. Australian Leadership Awards are awarded to people who are already leaders or have a potential to assume leadership roles that can influence social and economic policy reform and development outcomes, both in their own countries and in the Asia and Pacific region. The Awards provide scholarships for longer-term post-graduate study at masters or doctoral level and fellowships for short-term research, study or professional attachments. They will bring around 3200 scholars and fellows in the five years from 2006-2011 to study in Australia. Managed by AusAID as part of Australia's overseas aid program, Australian Leadership Awards are open only to citizens of countries in the region that are eligible for Official Development Assistance (ODA) (See below). Awards will be available to present and future leaders and personnel in corporate, academic, non-government and government services. Specific objectives include fostering enduring people-to-people links and building capacity in developing countries. General fields of study relevant to leaders in the region include management, economics, business, political science, philosophy, history, law and public policy, for example. In 2009, priority fields of study that will be targeted include: trade policy and regional integration, cross-boundary challenges such as pandemics, security and clean energy. To be eligible for an Australian Leadership Award applicants will need to meet a number of criteria. Australian Leadership Awards are being offered only to citizens of the following countries in the Asia Pacific region:
