About:

Fulbright Austria offers grants for Austrian and US citizens to study, research, and teach in the US and Austria in pursuit of its mission to promote mutual understanding, cooperation, and knowledge transfer between the peoples of Austria and the US. Fulbright Austria also pursues its mission by serving as an EducationUSA advising center and providing information to students and institutions on opportunities to study in the US.

To finance its grants, Fulbright Austria receives core funding from the governments of Austria and the US and relies on partnerships with institutions on both sides of the Atlantic and on generous donations from our alum community. The combined efforts of all these stakeholders have sustained the ongoing success of Fulbright Austria’s programs for students, scholars, and teaching assistants since 1950, and new partnerships in Austria and the US continuously add to the number of opportunities Fulbright Austria can create for citizens of both countries.
