The Walter Mangold Grant 2007

*GUIDELINES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTS OR ACADEMICS TO
ENGAGE IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN AUSTRALIA*_
**
*1.* _*Purposes of these Scholarships*_
The Walter Mangold Trust Fund (?the Trust?) has been established to
implement the belief of the late Walter Mangold, that better
understanding between peoples, and consequently lessening of conflict,
can be achieved by improving communication between them. He considered
that the study of languages, and as a consequence the culture
associated

with each language, is one way to attain those outcomes.
* One of the objects of the Trust is the provision of scholarships for
overseas students who apply to come to Australia to advance their
knowledge of English, and to gain an understanding of one or more areas
of Australian culture*.
*2. _Eligibility_*
In 2007 the Trust will have funds available to fund a small number of
grants to further this object.
In 2007 the Trust will be giving priority to applicants from Indonesia,
Vietnam and China and from South American countries where Spanish is
the
common language.
The amounts available in the 2007 grant round range from A$15,000.00 to
a maximum of A$25,000.00 for any specific grant.
Applicants must:

* demonstrate that their study or educational activity in Victoria
may make a significant contribution to their knowledge of English
and aspects of Australian culture which can be applied by them in
their home country;
* be coming to Australia to be enrolled in a tertiary course in
Victoria, or to undertake an educational activity in Victoria,
which furthers the objects of the Trust;
* satisfy and continue to satisfy the visa requirements for entry
into Australia and for remaining in Australia;
