Australian Scholarship Opportunities

Anne Wexler Scholarship for Australian-American Public Policy Studies

Prestigious new Masters Scholarship for 2011 for up to Aus$140,000 for up to two years for research or study in Australia towards a Masters degree.

The aim of the Anne Wexler Scholarships is to grow Australian-American educational linkages by building the network of public policy experts and to encourage ongoing policy exchange between both countries. U.S. postgraduate students with strong academic credentials and leadership potential can apply to undertake a Master's degree in Australia in an area that supports the late Mrs Wexler's bi-national interests in the fields of public policy. These may include key areas such as health, sustainability, energy, climate change, regional security, political science, history or governmental relations. Consideration will be given to those undertaking one year of study to complete a Master's degree.

This is not a Fulbright scholarship but it is administered by the Australian-American Fulbright Commission. Applications close 30 Sept 2010.
