The Walter Mangold Trust Fund to Study in Australia

Deadline: June 15, 2007

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.

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 $15,000.00 to a maximum of $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;
  • submit a detailed program of study or educational activity, and be supported by references as to capacity and character;
  • Priority may be given to applicants whose financial circumstances would not otherwise permit them to undertake studies or education activities in Australia.

Note:

It is a condition provided in the Trust Fund Deed that as part of their program of study or educational activity a grant recipient must :

  • make a publication in Australia, or
  • deliver one or more lectures in a public or educational institution in Australia,
  • with the intention of furthering the education, communication and understanding between peoples and cultures

Conditions

  • Compliance with the obligation to make a publication or to deliver one or more lectures in a public or educational institution.
