Fulbright Alumni Scholarships

Through their generous donations Fulbright alumni support two unique and distinguished Fulbright Postgraduate Scholarships.  The Fulbright Australian Alumni (WG Walker) Scholarship for Australians and the Fulbright U.S. Alumni Scholarship for an American. Both are granted to the top ranked postgraduate applicans for that year. 

These scholarships are a positive way for Fulbright alumni to contribute and provide a Fulbright experience for future talented young Australians and Americans.  To support these scholarships please see Donations.
