Australian scholarship winners given farewell
Islamabad, Dec 19, 2007: Twenty-two awardees of Australian Scholarships were given a
farewell in Islamabad Tuesday, says a press release.
The Pakistani
students will undertake masters-level study in Australia in the areas of health,
education, environment, governance, public administration and information
technology in the 2008 academic year.
The scholarships have been awarded
under the Australian Development Scholarships and the AusAID-Carnegie Mellon
University Scholarships Program.
The Australian High Commissioner to
Pakistan Ms Zorica McCarthy said the scholarships were intended for those who
are already leaders or have the potential to assume leadership roles, which
influence social and economic policy reform and development outcomes, both
within Pakistan and the region.
"The Australian scholarships program aims
to contribute to the long-term development needs of Pakistan to promote good
governance, economic growth and human development," Ms McCarthy
said.
"Scholarship holders are expected to return to their country of
citizenship at the completion of their studies for a minimum of two years in
order to contribute to the development of their country. Many previous
scholarship holders have become leaders in government, the private sector and in
the international development sector."
"These scholarships will provide
Pakistani professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to drive change
and influence the development outcomes in Pakistan through obtaining relevant
tertiary qualifications at Australian institutions."
Up to 1000
Australian Development Scholarships are awarded each year across 31 countries
with scholarships awarded equally between men and women. The News
