Fulbright Scholar Award (funded by the University of Canberra)

The University of Canberra has a strong commitment to integrated learning and serving its communities through professional education and applied research. Its purpose is to provide education which offers high quality transformative experiences to everyone suitably qualified; to engage in research which makes an early and important difference to the world around us; and to contribute to the building of just, prosperous, healthy and sustainable communities.

The development of research areas is important to the bi-lateral relationship between the United States and Australia. The Fulbright Scholar Award (funded by the University of Canberra) will enable exceptional U.S. scholars to undertake research in priority areas for the University of Canberra.
