Overview
The Australian Leadership Awards Fellowships are a component of a regional program that aims to develop leadership and build partnerships and linkages with developing countries. They are intended for those who are already leaders or have the potential to assume leadership roles that can influence social and economic policy reform and development outcomes.
The Australian Leadership Awards program comprises Scholarships and Fellowships. ALA Fellowships are for short term study, research and professional attachment programs in Australia delivered by Australian organisations.
ALA Fellowships complement the longer term ALA Scholarships providing opportunities to senior officials and mid-career professional who cannot leave their positions for extended periods.
