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.
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).

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.

In 2011, study programs must relate to AusAID's priority areas of disability, economic growth, education, environment, food security, gender, governance, health, human rights, infrastructure, regional stability, rural development and water & sanitation. Scholarships are not available for military training, or training in areas related to nuclear technology and flying an aircraft.
