About This Opportunity

The Australian-American Fulbright Commission offers up to five Postgraduate Scholarships to U.S. graduate or PhD students to conduct a period of research in Australia. These awards are available in any field/discipline and support 8-10 months of research. Candidates must secure affiliation at a host institution at the time of application. The program includes an in-person orientation in late February with Australian and American awardees, concluding with an awards ceremony and Gala event attended by distinguished delegates. Fulbright Australia has a preference for applicants who have not received a previous Fulbright award and is especially interested in applications from arts and humanities fields. Life as a Fulbright Scholar in Australia offers a dynamic fusion of academic excellence and cultural immersion, from Sydney to the Outback. The program provides opportunities to engage with top-notch scholars and researchers while experiencing the vibrant multicultural atmosphere of Australia. Applications proposing enrollment in an Australian postgraduate program (i.e. a Master's program) are not eligible for this award.
