THE UNIVERSITY of Canberra has announced a new partnership with the Australian-American Fulbright Commission.

This new partnership will result in an annual Fulbright Senior Scholarship for a US citizen to undertake research at the University of Canberra for four months.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Frances Shannon said she is thrilled to team up with the Fulbright Commission to add another significant scholarship to the University’s growing list of opportunities to attract international academics.

“The Fulbright Program is one of the most prestigious scholarship programs in the world and this new scholarship will enable exceptional senior scholars from the US to undertake relevant research at the University,” Frances said.

“The new scholarship will be open to researchers across disciplines such as environment, governance, health, sport, education and communication.”

Dr Tangerine Holt, executive director of the Australian-American Fulbright Commission, is excited about the future of this new collaboration with the University of Canberra.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the excellence of the University of Canberra’s research,” Tangerine said.

“The University of Canberra is a wonderful environment to foster bi-national educational exchange with the United States, and we are delighted to partner with them on this new initiative.”

The Fulbright Commission’s scholarship programs are recognised for their quality, values and opportunities, and aim to strengthen relations between the USA and Australia.
