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. Sponsored by Rice, the award supports one to two academic years of postgraduate study and is open to any master’s degree program offered by the university, rather than a particular discipline or research topic.
The scholarship combines postgraduate education with Fulbright’s goals of educational and cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and stronger Australia–United States relations. Alongside tuition and living support, recipients receive guidance from the Commission before and during their program. Applicants do not need an offer from Rice when applying for Fulbright, but successful candidates must subsequently apply to the university.
