Fulbright-Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation Award for Research in Science and Technology

Fulbright Austria (Austrian-American Educational Commission) offers up to five Fulbright–Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation Awards for full-time research. These grants are generously funded by the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation and intended for PhD candidates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and related fields. Applications from highly qualified graduate students and recent undergraduates with strong project proposals in relevant fields will also be considered. The award provides a 9-month grant period from October to June. Recipients must submit a final research paper of at least 7,500 words, which will be made available to the public via the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation website. Fulbright Austria and the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation review project proposals for their coherence and quality, with particular interest in proposals of bilateral or comparative relevance that enhance research collaboration between Austrian and American institutions. All grantees must be fully matriculated at accredited universities in Austria to facilitate tuition remission, health insurance, and access to facilities. The program begins with a week-long orientation in Vienna in mid- to late September.
