Description
The Australian-American Fulbright Commission awards Postgraduate General Category scholarships annually to U.S. Visiting Student Researchers undertaking research in Australia. Projects may be in any discipline and hosted at institutions anywhere in Australia. The central priority is research that enhances Australia–United States bilateral relations and embodies the Fulbright mission of educational and cultural exchange.
The award supports an eight-month research placement through a monthly stipend, international travel assistance, and Commission guidance before and during the program. Scholars also participate in the Fulbright Orientation and Gala Presentation Dinner, connecting their research experience with the wider exchange program. The number of awards depends on available funding.
