The 2021 FLYWIRE Charitable Foundation Scholarships

OSHCstudents – Flywire is thrilled to announce that our 2021 scholarship applications are now open! This year’s themes – Social Justice, Global Health, and Global Citizenship – will be awarded to students with academic pursuits in related disciplines.

 

 

A total of seven scholarships of $5,000 USD each will be awarded across the following themes.

 

Social Justice

As social justice issues such as policing, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, religious persecution, sexism, racism and sexual violence, have continued to dominate the world news this year, the need for significant social justice reform has only increased. These scholarships aim to support tomorrow’s leaders who will work towards eradicating racism, violence, systemic biases and other acts of intolerance.

 

Global Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered just how important all aspects of our global healthcare system is, from frontline workers and community health providers, to researchers, administrators and policy makers. It has also highlighted the urgent need to accelerate the world’s focus on improving public health care and policy for future generations. These scholarships aim to help train future healthcare stakeholders taking on these complex challenges.

 

Global Citizenship

COVID-19 has created a shared global experience that has united the world in an unprecedented way, yet this time period has also brought global challenges that have underscored the need for increased dialogue, education and the fostering of knowledge around diverse cultures, languages, backgrounds and political systems.  These scholarships aim to support students who are pursuing a career or passion in areas that will have a positive global impact and will promote the values of global citizenship.

I trust Allianz Care since it is one of the largest insurance companies in Australia, with the medical centres where I only have to pay for what is left from insurance support. (no need to claim later). Besides, those centres are located at the centre of the city, close to schools. Very convenient, right? Credits to Allianz Care for providing reliable medical centres for health check and treatments.

I’ve been living with homestay family for 2 years. I’m now 19, I can move out but I don’t want to leave my host, who has become my family. It feels like I’ve met my second family. Thanks OSHCstudents for sending me to this homestay!

I realised how important insurance was when I started living in Australia. There I switched to using Allianz Care instead of the previous service. Allianz Care is extraordinarily good in its consulting service and customer care. I’ve learned a lot about Australian health care, also I was consulted with mental issues and how to live a healthy lifestyle. I am very happy now.

Thanks to Allianz Care, every time I claimed my medical receipts it processed much more quickly and easily than I expected. I was initially a bit concerned since Allianz Care is more expensive than other insurance companies, but now I can ensure that it is totally worth the money.
