LAUNCHED in October 2001, the Malaysian Australian Alumni Council (MACC) Scholarships build on the spirit of the Colombo Plan, which enabled some 4,000 Malaysians to study in Australia from the early 1950s until the mid-1980s.

The MACC Scholarships take the Colombo Plan a step further by providing for a two-way exchange of scholars between Malaysia and Australia. The scholarships include full or partial waivers of tuition fees and are offered to Malaysian and Australian students to undertake their tertiary education in each other’s countries.

The scholarship is spearheaded by the MAAC, an umbrella organisation for Australian university alumni in Malaysia, and IDP Education Australia Pty Ltd (Malaysia) administrates Australia-bound scholarships.

Application is now open for the 2008 round, with nine participating Australian universities offering various scholarships for Malaysian applicants. For more information, visit www.australia.org.my or call IDP Education at 03-2162-3755.
