Final Call for applications for Australia’s Endeavour Awards 2011
Time is fast running out for students, researchers and executives to win a scholarship opportunity to study in Australia!
Applications for Australia’s Endeavour Awards 2011 will close at the end of this month.
The Endeavour Awards are part of the Australia Awards initiative and offer scholarships across a variety of disciplines for study ranging from a month to three and a half years.
Australian Consul-General, Mr Les Luck, says the awards offer a unique opportunity for people in Hong Kong and Macau to further their studies and skills in an international environment. |

“These scholarships form an important part of our ongoing relationship with this region,” said Mr Luck.
“By promoting knowledge, a good education and enduring personal friendships, we hope over time to build a new generation of global leaders with strong links to Australia,” he added.
The Endeavour Awards aim to develop these links by bringing high achieving researchers, executives and students to Australia to undertake study, research projects and professional development.
In 2010, two Hong Kong applicants were successful in obtaining Endeavour Awards.
Joining the nine Australian recipients coming to Hong Kong this year, Chinese University of Hong Kong student Lo Pui-yin has already started her study of mental health at the University of Queensland; while Dr Wong Yuet-hong will go to University of Sydney for his professional development in radiology in October. |
