Description
The Fulbright U.S. Anne Wexler Scholarship in Public Policy supports one U.S. postgraduate student with strong academic credentials and leadership potential to undertake a one- or two-year master’s degree in Australia. Administered by Fulbright Australia and funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, the annual scholarship recognizes Anne Wexler’s contributions to Australian-American relations.
The degree must have a specific policy focus, such as a master’s in public policy or public administration, and support Wexler’s binational interests. Relevant fields include health policy, energy policy, regional security, education policy, political science, history, and government relations. Study may take place anywhere in Australia. Fulbright Australia provides guidance before and during the program, alongside participation in its Orientation and Gala Presentation Dinner.
