Scholarship Programmes

ASSERT has received funding support from The Charitable Foundation of Australia for the training of two East Timorese national staff to study physiotherapy in Indonesia . This is very important to the success of our programme, and essential in terms of achieving the aims of ASSERT in training local staff. Three candidates attended the entry exam in Solo in July 2006. The two successful candidates commenced their studies in September 2006.
