Rural, regional and remote Australians receive $55,000 scholarship for leadership development program
Announcement posted by Australian Rural Leadership Foundation 14 May 2018
Announcement of Course 25 of the Australian Rural Leadership Program.
Thirty-one people from across rural, regional and remote Australia have been selected to be part of
Course 25 of the iconic Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP) announced Matt Linnegar, Chief
Executive of the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation (ARLF).
The ARLP is a 15-month leadership program which takes place across Australia and Indonesia,
immersing participants in a series of unique experiences to develop their leadership capabilities.
“Our generous partners provide a $55,000 scholarship for each participant to undertake the program.
Our partners believe that investing in people is crucial for the greater good of rural, regional and
remote Australia,” said Matt.
“Throughout the program participants will engage in challenging and lifechanging experiences. We’ll
provide time and space to reflect on their abilities as a leader. They’ll be given the tools and capacity to
influence change, and make an impact in regional Australia.”
One of the unique aspects of the program is its length, over the 15 months these participants will learn
from each other’s experiences within their communities and industries.
“They will form lifelong friendships, mentoring relationships, and a network that extends beyond their
Course to the wider 1,000 plus alumni of the Foundation.”
“These participants have taken part in a rigorous and competitive selection process to be chosen for
Course 25 of the ARLP, and I’m excited to meet the entire cohort in July.”
“We also excited to announce the first ever recipient of the ARLF Alumni Scholarship – Jolanda Bakker
from Tom Price, WA. It’s through the donations of our alumni that we can provide Jolanda with the
opportunity to be part of the ARLP. I would like to thank alumni for their generosity,” said Matt.
The participants will commence their first session of the program in Darwin in July 2018, before
travelling to the Kimberley region in WA for an outdoor experiential component of the program.
