AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL AWARDS SCHEME
The Prime Minister, Mr Whitlam. announced
today the intention of the Australian Government to
increase the number of Australian International Awards
( AIAS) for Commonwealth Carribean countries to
approximately ten each year. Nominations for awards
would generally be for short-term specialist and
post-graduate studies although undergraduate nominations
would be considered in special cases. The Australian
Government would wish to honor the priorities set by the
nominating Government on types of training. It will
consider and attempt placement in virtually any field
which can be defined as contributing to economic and
social development.
