About This Opportunity

Fulbright Austria (the Austrian-American Educational Commission) offers one Fulbright Student Award in Music, Performing Arts and Visual Arts. This grant is specifically designated for applicants who wish to pursue full-time research and/or study in music, performing arts, or visual arts disciplines in Austria. The program runs from October through June (9 months) and requires full matriculation at an accredited Austrian university. Applicants must have established contact with Austrian music and/or art professors before applying and must solicit invitations to study with said professors. Admission procedures at Austrian institutions of music and the arts vary and may require auditions, entrance examinations, and portfolio submissions. Instruction is frequently based on master classes where professors select and train students for an extended period. Fulbright Austria reviews project proposals for their coherence and quality and also takes into account the candidate's ability to contribute to the promotion of mutual understanding between the people of Austria and the United States. The program is particularly interested in the promotion of Austrian studies and in proposals of bilateral or comparative relevance that enhance Austrian-American collaboration. The grant includes a monthly stipend of €1,300 for nine months and a travel and relocation allowance of €2,000. The Austrian government provides for the waiver of tuition fees at public institutions.
