New Colombo Plan Students in Hong Kong Monday, 20 November 2017

The Hong Kong Chapter welcomed two new members, engineering students, Julian Loh and Sam Williams, who are participating in the New Colombo Plan Scholarship programme by the Australian Government.

The New Colombo Plan is an initiative of the Australian Government which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduates to study and undertake internships in the region.

It encourages a two-way flow of students between Australia and the rest of our region, complementing the thousands of students from the region coming to Australia to study each year. Read more about the initiative here.

Julian and Sam were introduced to the Chapter by the Australian Consulate General in Hong Kong and are both studying at local universities. We hope to see them at our events and to provide support in securing internships for them.
