Curtin University, in partnership with Global Voices is offering an exclusive scholarship for a participant to represent Australia and attend the IMF/WB Annual Summit this October. 

The successful applicant will participate in the Global Voices Scholarship Program and join youth representatives from around Australia to meet with leaders and experts in policy, economics, and international development.

The Scholarship Program consists of three components:

• Participation in the Global Voices Policy Fellowship;
• The Global Voices National Conference (Tuesday 26 September – Thursday 28 September); and,

The Policy Fellowship allows the successful applicant to develop research, analysis, and policy-writing skills through developing a policy paper related to the delegation agenda. This policy paper must include specific recommendations for domestic policy application.

In addition to participating in the IMF/WB Annual Summit alongside inspiring leaders from around the world, Scholars travel to Canberra to participate in the Global Voices National Conference. This includes private meetings with policy experts, economists, senior public servants, Members of Parliament, and civil society leaders.
