with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field

Using narrative to tie your application together
Situated in the heart of the Mekong Delta Can Tho University provides unique access to one of the most flood prone areas in the world From July 2014 to December 2014 to coincide with the Southwest monsoon I will conduct research for an Honours Thesis
under the supervision of the School of Humanities
and
As an intern in the United States Congress during the period of deliberations for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Act I witnessed how reliant citizens are on their governments to provide solutions I also saw how quickly legislation can be passed in response to natural
disasters
and
Through my participation and experience at the G20 Youth Forum I gained an understanding of the barriers natural disasters create for economic development Australia has a longstanding commitment to active middle power diplomacy and our national experience
with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field
and finally
Researching the resilience of one of the worldrsquos most disaster-affected regions will be of benefit to the rest of Asia and Australiarsquos relief efforts especially given the predicted outcomes of increasing natural disasters

with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field

As an intern in the United States Congress during the period of deliberations for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Act I witnessed how reliant citizens are on their governments to provide solutions I also saw how quickly legislation can be passed in response to natural
disasters

Through my participation and experience at the G20 Youth Forum I gained an understanding of the barriers natural disasters create for economic development Australia has a longstanding commitment to active middle power diplomacy and our national experience
with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field
and finally
Researching the resilience of one of the worldrsquos most disaster-affected regions will be of benefit to the rest of Asia and Australiarsquos relief efforts especially given the predicted outcomes of increasing natural disasters

Using narrative to tie your application together
Situated in the heart of the Mekong Delta Can Tho University provides unique access to one of the most flood prone areas in the world From July 2014 to December 2014 to coincide with the Southwest monsoon I will conduct research for an Honours Thesis
under the supervision of the School of Humanities
and
As an intern in the United States Congress during the period of deliberations for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Act I witnessed how reliant citizens are on their governments to provide solutions I also saw how quickly legislation can be passed in response to natural
disasters
and
Through my participation and experience at the G20 Youth Forum I gained an understanding of the barriers natural disasters create for economic development Australia has a longstanding commitment to active middle power diplomacy and our national experience
with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field
and finally
Researching the resilience of one of the worldrsquos most disaster-affected regions will be of benefit to the rest of Asia and Australiarsquos relief efforts especially given the predicted outcomes of increasing natural disasters

Using narrative to tie your application together
Situated in the heart of the Mekong Delta Can Tho University provides unique access to one of the most flood prone areas in the world From July 2014 to December 2014 to coincide with the Southwest monsoon I will conduct research for an Honours Thesis
under the supervision of the School of Humanities
and
As an intern in the United States Congress during the period of deliberations for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Act I witnessed how reliant citizens are on their governments to provide solutions I also saw how quickly legislation can be passed in response to natural
disasters
and
Through my participation and experience at the G20 Youth Forum I gained an understanding of the barriers natural disasters create for economic development Australia has a longstanding commitment to active middle power diplomacy and our national experience
with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field
and finally
Researching the resilience of one of the worldrsquos most disaster-affected regions will be of benefit to the rest of Asia and Australiarsquos relief efforts especially given the predicted outcomes of increasing natural disasters

Using narrative to tie your application together
Situated in the heart of the Mekong Delta Can Tho University provides unique access to one of the most flood prone areas in the world From July 2014 to December 2014 to coincide with the Southwest monsoon I will conduct research for an Honours Thesis
under the supervision of the School of Humanities
and
As an intern in the United States Congress during the period of deliberations for the Hurricane Sandy Relief Act I witnessed how reliant citizens are on their governments to provide solutions I also saw how quickly legislation can be passed in response to natural
disasters
and
Through my participation and experience at the G20 Youth Forum I gained an understanding of the barriers natural disasters create for economic development Australia has a longstanding commitment to active middle power diplomacy and our national experience
with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field
and finally
Researching the resilience of one of the worldrsquos most disaster-affected regions will be of benefit to the rest of Asia and Australiarsquos relief efforts especially given the predicted outcomes of increasing natural disasters

FAQs
Would a student who is an Australian citizen and attended high school in Australia but studies at college for four years in the United States be eligible to apply or must their degree be attained in Australia
Can someone be eligible for the scholarship if their 26th birthday is in the same year that they would commence at Oxford
Before applying I was wondering how important grades are when considering recipients
I am currently overseas on study exchange Knowing that I have to return to Australia to attend the interview in person if invited are you able to indicate an approximate date for this andor when I will know if I am shortlisted
Could I confirm that I am able to list more than five referees on my application

with successful disaster management represents an opportunity to lead our region in this field
