The Testimonial Australia Awards is a program organised by the Malaysian Students Council of Australia (MASCA) with the assistance of Education Malaysia Australia Sydney to recognise the academic achievements of Malaysian students as well as their contributions in a leadership capacity or other community roles.The awards program is divided into six categories, which are the Gold and Silver standards, as well as four categories based on year of study. The administration of the award is based on a points system, available from two tiers.
The first tier is academic achievement, where the student is awarded points based on the tertiary education results achieved thus far. This tier is a hurdle requirement. The second tier is based on extra-curricular activities and leadership roles the student has been involved in over their time in Australia.It is the hope of EM and MASCA that these awards successfully recognises the vast achievements and abilities of Malaysian students studying in Australia and acts as a positive reinforcement in spurring the students to achieve greater heights of success.
First implemented in 2009, Testimonial Australia is the first of its kind, never before implemented from an overseas student organisation. The award is rapidly gaining recognition from employers for its prestige.
