2027-2028 Fulbright Scholarships

The Australian-American Fulbright Commission offers scholarships to Australian citizens across all career stages. Awardees take part in an academic and cultural exchange, pursuing research or study at a U.S. institution, experiencing life abroad and bringing back their knowledge and experience to share with their communities in Australia. A Fulbright award is more than a scholarship – it is a means of fostering leadership, learning, and empathy between cultures. The program provides opportunities for postgraduate coursework, higher degree by research, and post-doctoral candidates to undertake study or research at U.S. institutions. Recipients must travel on a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa and participate in cultural exchange activities. The program includes comprehensive support including stipends, tuition allowances, travel, health insurance, and ongoing guidance from the Commission.
