Summary of publication
This report presents the findings from the 2023 Global Tracer Longitudinal Survey, completed by a cohort of Australian development scholarship alumni who participated in the 2019 Global Tracer Survey who had completed their Australian scholarship between 2013 and 2016. The survey was administered online in July and August 2023 and responses were secured from 1,388 alumni (a 61.5% response rate). The analyses presented in this report focus on the changes, progress, and long-term outcomes of this group of alumni nearing a decade post-award and focus on alumni career journeys, contributions to long-term program outcomes, and future plans.
This research was conducted by the Australia Awards Global Tracer Facility for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This report complements another longitudinal research project by the GTF in 2023 involving in-depth interviews following up a group of alumni who were also interviewed in 2019. Together these reports provide a deep and broad understanding of the medium-to-long-term impact of the Australia Awards scholarships on alumni by providing both quantitative and qualitative insights.
