Purposes of these Scholarships:

The Walter Mangold Trust Fund (“the Trust”) has been established to further the belief that better understanding between peoples, and consequently lessening of conflict, can be achieved by improving communication between them.  The study of languages, and as a consequence the culture associated with each language, is one way to attain those outcomes.  The history of the establishment of the Trust can be viewed at www.mangoldtrust.org.au.

One of the objects of the Trust is the provision of educational scholarships to enable young Australians to spend a period of time in a foreign country, with the intention of furthering the education, communication and understanding between peoples and cultures.
