Australian Agribusiness Leadership Program

Now in its 34th year, The Australian Agribusiness Leadership Program (AALP), an Australian Rural Leadership Foundation (ARLF) initiative, is continuing to help grow the next generation of Australian Agricultural leaders.

This program is for agribusiness leaders who want to increase their impact in the businesses and communities in which they live and work. The AALP employs the signature ARLF experiential learning approach using real-world situations tailored to the agribusiness sector and the complexities facing these industries. 
 
This scholarship is proudly supported by Australian Eggs and is valued at $15,510 per position. Applications usually open in September for the following year's program.
