Under the program’s targeted category, the award is given to partner organisations of the Australia Awards and Alumni Engagement Program – Philippines (AAAEP-P). This means the partner organisation determines the priority field of study area and REAP focus area of its scholar, which is based on the awardee’s career development and its organisation’s strategic direction respectively. The partner agency also assigns a mentor who will assist the scholar in developing and implementing his or her REAP.
While a partner organisation is given a certain number of slots per scholarship intake, the agency may nominate more candidates than the allocated slots. Also, the agency is not required to rank the nominated candidates.
Note: The agency is expected to designate the HR person and M&E person who will be the focal contact for the Australia Awards Scholarships.

It is a proactive process that facilitates discussions and agreements between the candidates and mentors/supervisors on what needs to be learned and how they will be applied at work.
The Re-Entry Action Planning promotes commitment building from the candidates and the supervisors/ mentors to address the identified development concern of their organisations.
Finalised and approved Re-Entry Action Plan will need to be submitted to AAAEP-P before candidates leave for Australia. Approval shall come from the Organisation through their respective supervisors.
