2022 Fulbright Professional Scholarship in Non-Profit Leadership

Funded by Perpetual & Supported by Australian Scholarships Foundation

Fulbright Australia, Perpetual and ASF are pleased to offer the 2022 Fulbright Professional Scholarship in Non-Profit Leadership for the tenth year running. After the superb quality and volume of past year's recipients, we are looking forward to awarding the 2022 scholarship to yet another deserving candidate in the not-for-profit sector.

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.” Since its establishment, the Fulbright Program has grown to become the largest educational exchange program in the world, operating in over 160 countries. Since its inception in Australia in 1949, Fulbright Australia have awarded over 5,000 scholarships, creating a vibrant, dynamic, and interconnected network of Alumni.

Valued at $30,000, the Fulbright Professional Scholarship in Non-Profit Leadership is the first Fulbright Scholarship for the not-for-profit sector in Australia. It provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an emerging leader in the charitable not-for-profit sector to undertake a program of research and/or professional development in the United States for a period of 3-4 months.

Since its inception in 2013, the non-profit Fulbright has given NFP leaders an opportunity like none other to improve their skills and knowledge, exchange information with peers in Australia and the U.S., as well as join the prestigious alumni of Fulbright Scholars worldwide.
