Australia-U.S.A. Electric Vehicle Scholarship
Award: $3,500
Eligibility:
- Candidates will write a 400-500-word essay on the selected topic.
- Students who have completed one year (100 units) of their undergraduate or master's degree majoring in commerce, banking, marketing, finance, accounting, actuarial studies, economics, business studies, engineering and environmental or climate science, education, international studies, law, and science.
Description: The purpose of this scholarship is to provide financial support worth USD, $3,500 towards the academic expenses of the winning applicant and promote cross-cultural cooperation and understanding between Australia and the United States.
As longstanding allies with shared democratic values, Australia and the United States of America have a similar outlook and desire to be a force for positive change in the world. Nowhere is this more evident than in the need for both countries to adopt electric vehicles to reduce emissions and combat climate change.
As we embrace the challenge of a generation and face up to the need to transition to carbon-neutral transport systems, we ask the question of how the two countries, with similar land areas, though very different population sizes, can move away from internal combustion engine vehicles and towards electric alternatives.
While parts of the U.S. are leading the charge, it can be argued that Australia needs to be doing more. What can Australia learn from the United States in terms of electric vehicle policy, infrastructure and technology to make the leap and get ahead of the EV curve?
ESSAY TOPIC: How can the U.S.A. and Australia more effectively transition to carbon-neutral Electric Vehicle transport networks?
Deadline: June 30, 2024
