Australia Awards Fellowships | Opportunity for Bangladeshi Students

Australia Awards Fellowships

Australia Awards Fellowships aim to develop leadership, address priority regional development issues, and build partnerships and links between Australian organizations and their partner organizations in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and the Middle East.

Australia Awards Fellowships engage with a wide cross-section of the Australian community on aid delivery issues and priorities for development. Through Australia Awards Fellowships, Australian organizations have the opportunity to build and strengthen links with organizations in developing countries by offering professional development opportunities in Australia.

The goal of Australia Awards Fellowships is to develop appropriately trained current and aspiring leaders in priority areas, who, in the short to medium term, will be in a position to advance key regional policy objectives and increase institutional capacity of partner countries. Australia Awards Fellowships are designed to complement individual bilateral country programs by offering flexible learning opportunities that address current and emerging needs at the country, sub-regional and regional levels.
