We administer the prestigious Fulbright Program in Australia, part of the world’s largest and most enduring educational and cultural exchange initiative.
Since its inception, the Fulbright Program has fostered intellectual curiosity, global collaboration, and mutual understanding by supporting outstanding students, researchers, academics, and professionals to study, teach, and conduct research across borders.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to strengthening the vital relationship between Australia and the United States.
We do this by facilitating transformative scholarship experiences and cultivating a dynamic, inclusive, and high-integrity environment for all applicants and awardees.
Through collaborative partnerships, we continue to expand opportunities and broaden the impact of international exchange.
To be the preeminent scholarship program between Australia and the United States—known for its impact, integrity, and innovation—realised through a vibrant network of national and global collaborators.
Fulbright Australia advances education and cultural understanding between Australia and the United States. We deliver high-quality scholarship programs and exchanges that deepen bilateral ties, foster academic and professional excellence, and support the next generation of global leaders.
Our work is guided by values that reflect the core purpose of the Fulbright Program and shape how we engage with our community, partners, and each other:
Empathy
We prioritise empathy in everything we do—treating colleagues, scholars, applicants, partners, and sponsors with respect, understanding, and care. At the heart of Fulbright is a commitment to building bridges across cultures, and that begins with how we listen and relate to others.
Integrity
We uphold the highest standards of integrity in our selection processes, operations, and interactions. We expect honesty, accountability, and ethical conduct from our staff, scholars, and representatives, and we hold ourselves to the same.
Transparency
We are committed to openness in our decision-making, communications, and operations. Transparency fosters trust and ensures that our processes are clear, fair, and accessible to all.
Community
We actively foster a vibrant and inclusive Fulbright community—one grounded in shared values of international education, mutual understanding, collaboration, and the pursuit of opportunity. Our alumni, partners, and stakeholders are vital to sustaining this global network of changemakers.
Our valued sponsors
Partners play a significant role in building and fostering this work and the Commission is committed to achieving its central mission through the continued development of productive and effective partnerships.
