Australia Awards Philippines

Mentors

The Mentoring Program is a unique feature of the Australia Awards Scholarships program in the Philippines, which provides an opportunity for awardees to have a mentor who will guide them in their Australia Awards journey.

Mentors provide awardees with professional and technical advice particularly in the development and implementation of the awardee’s re-entry action plan (REAP). A mentor help ensure that the awardee’s REAP is aligned to the organisation’s strategic directions.
