Northrop Grumman and the American Australian Association are continuing their partnership through the American Australian Association – Northrop Grumman Corporation Graduate Education Scholarships – supporting Australian graduate and postdoctoral researchers undertaking cutting edge study in the United States.
Now in its second decade, the program aligns with the objectives of AUKUS Pillar ll by fostering collaboration in priority fields including quantum technologies, hypersonics, computational mechanics and supply chain resilience.
Since the program’s inception, Northrop Grumman has contributed close to $600,000 supporting eleven Australian researchers at the graduate and postdoctoral level. This sustained investment reflects NGs commitment to building a pipeline of talent equipped to tackle defence, technology and strategic innovation.
Each scholarship represents a meaningful opportunity for emerging leaders to deepen their expertise, expand global network and contribute to the shared security and prosperity of Australia and the United States. These scholarships help build sovereign capability and strengthen the shared innovation underpinning Australia’s long term defence and technology goals.
This partnership provides emerging leaders with transformative opportunities to pursue research and advanced study across the United States and Australia, reinforcing strategic alliance between the two nations while investing in talent that will shape the future of innovation, security and technological collaboration.
Rob Denney, Country Executive for Australia, Northrop Grumman, said: “This scholarship program reflects our long-term commitment to nurturing innovation and strengthening the strategic ties that underpin our shared security and prosperity. By supporting emerging researchers in fields like quantum, hypersonics and supply chain, we’re helping to build a sovereign capability that’s collaborative, future focused and globally connected.”
Steven Marshall, President American Australian Association, said: “Through our Graduate, Veterans’ and Arts scholarship programs, the American Australian Association is committed to advancing expertise in the next generation of young leaders; creating international alumni networks; and generating new ideas and smart solutions that benefit humanity and help solve pressing global issues. Northrop Grumman’s significant investment through the American Australian Association scholarships plays an important part in developing these linkages.
