This is exciting news: The Origin Foundation is sponsoring a Fulbright Professional Scholarship in Non-Profit Leadership, and applications are now open!! This scholarship is designed to boost the long-term leadership and management capacity of the Australian NFP sector - so if you're a leader or director in that sector, you could be in the running for the $40,000 scholarship package.

The Scholarship
The Fulbright Scholarship, valued at $40,000, is a unique opportunity for an emerging NFP leader (and possibly his or her family) to travel in the United States for up to four months to study and conduct research into leadership and the operations of US non-profit sector organisations.  This is a terrific opportunity to gain experiential learning by visiting organisations as well as attending a course in the US.

The Application
Applications are now being accepted for 2013 and will close on 20 August 2012 - but be warned: it's a lengthy application process so you better get started now!

More details on application criteria and FAQs are available on the Australian Scholarships Foundation website or the Fulbright Commission’s website.  Good luck!!
