FULBRIGHT PROFESSIONAL Scholarship
Fulbright Professional Scholarships are available to Australian citizens, in junior to mid career positions, poised for advancement to a senior role from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors (outside academe), or junior to middle level academics whose professional focus is industry related and whose research and sharing of results within the industry is clearly outlined. As a guideline, Professional Scholars are generally aged between 30-45 years. The scholarship supports a 3-4 month program of professional development in the United States.
Application proposals must include an educational component (such as a short-course and/or research) and identify a potential U.S. host institution at which the applicant would spend a significant period of their scholarship. It may also involve other forms of professional experience including visits to relevant organisations. While the program may include attending a conference, this does not fulfil the educational requirements of the scholarship. The Professional Scholarship does not fund postgraduate (i.e. Masters or PhD) study programs.
Applications reopen on 1 June 2010 for the 2011 Scholarship Period.

Connect Australia Foundation Scholarship Program
Applications close 31 May 2010
The increasing costs of education in Australia has made tertiary studies a difficult goal to achieve. CAF acknowledges how difficult it is to manage the costs associated with tertiary studies, especially for those who have experienced the ordeal of relocation and settlement to Australia. CAF is committed to supporting people with refugee backgrounds to participate in academic study. Each year the CAF will offer two scholarships for students of the Humanities or Social Work who have a vision for a fairer, more just society. These will be offered to one male and one female who came to Australia as a refugee or under the humanitarian settlement program.
The female scholarship has been named the Claudette Elaro Refugee Women?s Scholarship to honour Claudette who was a leading women?s and refugee advocate who passed away in 2008. Claudette Elaro was respected for her unwavering commitment to seeking justice for the basic human rights of all peoples. She showed us that with immense dignity, optimism, passion and self respect, one can rise above adversity and life?s many challenges.
The male scholarship is named the Patrick Koffa Scholarship in honour of Patrick Koffa, a young refugee from Liberia who drowned at City Beach, Wollongong in March 2009. Despite his young age, Partick Koffa was able to achieve a balance of study, employment and community life and had a vision to one day return to Liberia to ?help his fellow country men?. Patrick Koffa was a valued member of the Liberian community who is sorely missed.
Students of the Humanities or Social Work, with a refugee background, who have a vision for a fairer, more just society. The value of each scholarship is $3,000 cash. The successful scholar will also be offered an internship at one of the migrant resource centres across NSW.

About the Australian Fulbright Program
The Fulbright Exchange program was established in 1946 as an initiative of Senator J. William Fulbright of the USA. Following the end of World War II he was committed to the ideal that mutual understanding through international education and exchange would “find ways and means of living in peace”. The Fulbright program has promoted educational and cultural exchange between America and over 140 countries throughout the world over the past 50 years. Leading international Fulbright scholars have included Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former UN Secretary General; Ruth Cardoso, scholar and former First Lady of Brazil; Milton Friedman, economist; Phillip Glass, composer; Roslyn Yalow, Nobel Prize in medicine; and Umberto Eco, writer.
The Australian Fulbright program was established through a Binational Treaty in 1949. Since then almost 2,500 Australians and over 1,700 Americans have been awarded prestigious Fulbright scholarships to study, research and travel in the respective countries.
Noted Australian Fulbright winners include The Hon Justice Robert Nicholson, Federal Court of Australia; Dr Keith Boardman AO, former Chief Executive CSIRO; Dr David Kemp, Minister of Education, Training and Youth Affairs; Christopher Kosh, author; Sir Ronald Wilson AC KBE CMG QC, former Judge, High Court of Australia and Chancellor Murdoch University; and Professor Nancy Millis AC MBE, Chancellor of La Trobe University.
Each year, up to 25 awards are made to Australian Post-Graduate Students, Post-Doctoral Fellows, Professionals and Senior Scholars. Awardees range from the traditional fields of law, engineering and science to the visual and performing arts.
