The first step is to ensure you have all the relevant documents ready to send us, including your CV, a statement of purpose, and a personal photo. For ASEAN applicants, you may also like to attach a TOEFL or IELTS certificate if you have one.

Your CV

Your CV should include your:

• contact details
• date of birth (you must be aged 23-40)
• details of community engagement
• current employment
• education
• relevant awards or other recognition
• any relevant publications

Please remember:

• For work and community engagement, include relevant dates and a brief explanation of your role and responsibilities in each position
• If you need to use abbreviations, please explain what they mean the first time you use them.
• For educational qualifications, remember to include dates and your area of study
• If you have relevant hyperlinks to your publications or the community organisations you work with, include them if you think they might be helpful

Statement of purpose

Your statement of purpose gives us a chance to understand your motivation for applying for the AAMEP. It provides an opportunity for you to stand out by highlighting the contribution you’re making to your community and to share your interest in the region. It should include:

1. What you hope to gain from the AAMEP
2. What you can offer as a delegate during the program
3. What you would like to convey about Islam in your home country, both in general terms and based on your personal experience
4. People or organisations in your neighbouring region (ASEAN or Australia) that you would most like to meet, and/or topics and themes you would most like to learn more about
5. How you might share and build on your experience after the program

Should your application be successful you will be invited to submit a short video introduction. We will send you further instructions about this process. At the same time, you will also be invited to take part in a Zoom interview with a selection panel. This will be the final stage of the application process.

Please prepare for the interview, attend the call promptly, be yourself, and enjoy the experience!

Applicants who successfully make it through the interview will be offered a place on the program beginning in late January 2022. This is your moment to celebrate! We will contact you to begin onboarding, and look forward to 8 weeks of learning, connection, collaboration, and transformational discussions.
