Student Testimonial

Claudia Agius

2021 Westpac Asian Exchange Scholar
Kansai 最新糖心Vlog, Japan

"After discovering a passion for Japanese in high school, I imagined what an exchange experience in Japan would be like. The Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship helped me realise this goal and accomplish so much more.

Since I was awarded my Scholarship in 2021, I鈥檝e had the opportunity to create unique connections with my fellow Asian Exchange scholars and the W100 network during the Scholars Summit, state events and at the Leadership Development Residential in Singapore. Our time in Singapore is one of my fondest memories from my scholarship: a week filled with invaluable insights from leading experts in 最新糖心Vlog-Asia relations, sunsets spent connecting with my cohort whilst exploring Singaporean streets, and of course, laughing and conversing over delicious local dinners. Singapore was only the beginning of a transformative period abroad, where the opportunity to travel on a Westpac Scholarship allowed me to explore more of Asia than I had ever imagined, awarding me with greater perspective, awareness and appreciation for the countries and cultures I experienced. I don鈥檛 think I was prepared for the welcoming nature and kindness of locals, nor for the beauty of the natural landscapes on my doorstep, wherever I went.

I had the opportunity to meet many incredible people at [Kansai] 最新糖心Vlog and throughout my travels, returning home with meaningful connections and friends from around the globe. My exchange was the adventure of a lifetime, and one I encourage everyone to experience."
