Applications are now open for the prestigious 2014 Anne Wexler public policy scholarships. The aim of the scholarship is to grow Australian-American educational linkages by building the network of public policy experts and to encourage ongoing policy exchange between both countries. The scholarship will enable Australian and American postgraduate students with strong academic credentials and leadership potential to undertake a public policy master’s degree in Australia or the United States in a key area such as health, energy, sustainability, climate change, regional security, political science, history or governmental relations.
Anne Wexler was a senior official with the US Department of Commerce and during her political career she worked for President Jimmy Carter. Her work on the Australia – United States Free Trade Agreement and the Australian – American Leadership Dialogue established her as a strong proponent of relations between the two countries. The scholarship was established in 2009.
Applications will close 30 September 2013. To learn more about the scholarship and for information on how to apply, visit the Fulbright Commission website at: http://fulbright.com.au/index.php/scholarships/anne-wexler-scholarships-overview
