History

'The Australian-American Fulbright Commission offers Scholarships to Australian citizens across all career stages. Awardees take part in a bi-lateral academic and cultural exchange, pursuing research or study at a U.S. institution, experiencing life in the United States of America, and bringing back their knowledge and experience to share with their communities in Australia.

'A Fulbright award is more than a Scholarship – it is, in the words of Senator Fulbright, a means of fostering “leadership, learning, and empathy between cultures… It is a modest program with an immodest aim – the achievement in international affairs of a regime more civilised, rational and humane than the empty system of power of the past.”'

Notes

  • The Fulbright Indigenous Scholarship is open to an Indigenous Postgraduate or Postdoctoral scholar to undertake a research or study program in the United States, and is available in any field of study. For Postgraduates it may be accredited towards an Australian higher degree; or to enrol in a U.S. higher degree or for a Postdoctoral scholar to undertake a program of research.

    The scholarship was originally established in cooperation with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) in 1993 and is now supported by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

    As fitting with the Fulbright mission, the Fulbright Indigenous Scholarship was established to support and recognise young Indigenous leader's commitment to achieving excellence, while seeking an international perspective and collaboration through their studies.
