MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The Australian government recently launched its 2009 Australian
Leadership Awards (ALA) Scholarships Program which will open to 150 students from across the
Asia-Pacific region including the Philippines.
�An ALA Scholarship is a significant opportunity for high achievers in the Philippines to
extend their education, strengthen their leadership skills, build networks and develop
strategies to address the development challenges we share,� Ambassador Rod Smith ,
Australian Ambassador to the Philippines, said.
Smith added that the prestigious ALA sponsorship program which is open to current and
emerging leaders in the Asia-Pacific region will provide funding for study at Masters and
Doctorate levels in Australia.
The ALA Scholarship is one of the Australian Government Scholarship programs managed by the
Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). AusAID spends over $A133 million
annually on scholarship programs.
The AusAID said that scholars will be selected from a highly competitive regional pool on
the basis of demonstrated leadership qualities and academic achievement. Students who will
be given scholarship grants will study in Australian universities in 2009.
�Awards are open for all fields of study however study programs that relate to the priority
themes of shared regional interest � international trade, pandemics, security and climate
change including clean energy � are encouraged�, AusAID said.
Last March, sixteen (16) scholars from the Mindanao Economic Development Council (MEDCo)
underwent a two-week peace-building and development training course in Brisbane at the
University of Queensland to develop peace and development frameworks.
The course, which continues until the end of April in Mindanao, is significant to MEDCo�s
role in promoting and integrating peace and development in the island-region.
Applications for 2009 ALA Scholarships will close on 30 June 2008. Interested applicants may
visit the website – http://www.ausaid.gov.au/scholar/ala.cfm – for more information. (MEDCo

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way
of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Actually content I came across this web page now has cheered me
up quite honestly

I am Justine P. Tesorero, a graduating AB English student of Mindanao State University, General Santos City, Philippines. I’ve read that you are willing to give scholarships for those who wants to take up their masters degree and so, I tried my faith to message you. As I’ve said, I’m a graduating student and I really want to take up masters degree but unfortunately, we don’t have enough money to finance because its much more expensive. I’m hoping that you will going to consider my message and help me with my concern.
Thank you and God bless!
Good day,
I would like to ask for this free scholarship, and how to avail it. I’m a college undergraduate of BS E.C.E in UDM, due to financial matters I stopped studying first sem. of my first year. Although the tuition is free you need to have extra for daily expenses books, uniform, and other things that you might need for studying which i don’t have unfortunately, maybe it is the problem of some unlucky students like me… We are in need of someone who can help us to pursue our dreams, to help families to carry our current positions to better places, and mostly to fulfill our goals that can only be achieve by having this full scholarship..
I know that not everyone will be given a chance to have this opportunity but if i will be given a chance I’ll embrace every single moments while it last, I will not do anything that could make its validity null and void and will take care the fact that I was in great debt for studying and will be very grateful for rest of my life…

I want to avail of a 1 year scholarship for my son. He is in his fourth year in college taking up Financial Management in a University in Davao City, Philippines. It would be great if you can help him for only one year so he can just graduate. His father is still waiting for his contract for him to be able to work in Riyahd, Saudi Arabia. My family is struggling to make both ends meet especially in our basic needs. Got no salary in the job I am in but receives commissions only if I’m able to close an account. My son has a promising future if you could help us financially in his last year in college. Thank you very much.

Greetings once more! It has come to my attention that evaluation of possible grantees of said scholarship programs rests on behalf of the aspirants’ capabilities and survival potential. To comply with such, provided below is the roster of my capabilities, as of now:
-excellent in biology, chemistry, and related sciences
-wide range of reading interests
-excellent in technical writing
-good in speaking skills
By being self-motivated, I assure that no scholarship grant gets to be wasted in the course of studying, if determination and continuous development of new skills is practiced. I hope that I could receive any one of these scholarships, as I would very much prefer to study in UP, even if my family were to bear with the financial burden, than to study in any other school.
Greetings! I am Ronneil S. Bilbao, an incoming sophomore student in UP Mindanao of the BS Biology program, from Tagum City, Davao del Norte. This is actually my first time to study in a public institution, hoping to find better education at prices not too hard to reach (or so we thought), because from kindergarten to high school I studied at a private institution (St. Mary’s College of Tagum, Inc., but only so because I have absolutely no expenses to pay because of a program concerning my mother’s work: a teacher in the very same institution). Hoping to discern and assess my abilities in a prestigious institution such as UP, my family decided to take the risk. However, as far as I could see we are already struggling, because of many liabilities that get subtracted from my parents’ income, further endangering all formerly reliable sources of support for my education. With the many scholarships you have offered I see this a chance and opportunity to help my family in coping with the expenses. I’ll be waiting for your reply, using my contact no. SMART – 09109317383 and my email address – ronneilbilbao@yahoo.com. Thank you!
Good day and God bless.
