Description
The Australian-American Fulbright Commission offers this scholarship for an Australian student to complete a master’s degree at Rice University in Houston, Texas. The award supports any master’s program offered by Rice, rather than a specified research field or project theme. Rice sponsors the scholarship through a tuition waiver and hosts the scholar for their degree studies.
The scholarship combines postgraduate education with Fulbright’s educational and cultural exchange mission, which promotes mutual understanding, research collaboration, and the exchange of ideas between Australia and the United States. Scholars receive financial support and guidance from the Commission before and during their program. Applicants should identify the Rice master’s program they wish to pursue and explain how it aligns with their future goals and the broader aims of Fulbright.
