“I’ve always thought that supporting industrial projects in my country is very important, but mitigating the environmental change effect that they produce is essential, and if we don’t, the economic and social costs will be enormous. Without a doubt, Australia Awards Scholarship has allowed me to visualize projects that a couple of years ago I couldn’t have been able to imagine. I strongly encourage you to apply, for it’s an intense experience that will allow you to conceive new ideas and possibilities. There’ll always be hard moments, especially at first if you aren’t proficient with the language, but I can assure you that studying in Australia will make you better academically, professionally and personally.”
