ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011
(October 1, 2010 - September 30, 2011)
INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Fulbright Program is based on legislation initially proposed and sponsored by U.S. Senator J.
William Fulbright (Arkansas) in 1946. The legislation, best known as the Fulbright Act, authorized the
Secretary of State to use proceeds from the sale of surplus war property outside the United States to
finance exchanges of students, teachers, scholars, and scientists.
This legislation provided an unprecedented amount of funding for exchange programs. It gave
international students and scholars unparalleled opportunities to study, to pursue research, and to teach
in the United States and provided U.S. citizens with equally unparalleled opportunities to engage in the
same kinds of pursuits abroad. The Fulbright Program also introduced a new concept for the
management of exchange agreements by establishing binational commissions for program
administration.
In 1961 the Fulbright-Hays Act consolidated various pieces of educational and cultural exchange
legislation. Fulbright-Hays broadened the scope of the program, provided for U.S. government funding
thereof as a line item in the federal budget, and authorized the receipt of contributions from other
governments to fund the program. The Act also expressly defined the mandate of the Fulbright Program
as follows: "to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the peoples
of other countries by means of educational and cultural exchange."
The Fulbright program in Austria began in June 1950 when the Austrian and U.S. governments signed
the first of three Fulbright Agreements. The first exchanges under the auspices of the U.S. Educational
Commission in Austria took place during the 1951-52 academic year. After the Fulbright-Hays Act was
passed in 1961, a new Agreement between the Republic of Austria and the United States of America
was signed on June 25, 1963 establishing the Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC) as a
binational entity capable of receiving funds from both partner governments and responsible for the
execution of the Fulbright Program.
The following report summarizes the activities conducted by the Austrian-American Educational
th
Commission from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011 during the 60 year of Fulbright exchanges
between Austria and the United States of America.
This report is submitted to the governments of the Republic of Austria and the United States of America
to satisfy the requirement of annual reporting, as stipulated under the terms of the 1963 binational
Agreement, and is also made available to institutions and individuals with an expressed interest in the
Fulbright Program. It is prepared in English and in German.
The AAEC and its secretariat wish to express their appreciation to the following governmental and nongovernmental organizations on both sides of the Atlantic that participate in the funding and
administration of the program:


Since the late 1990s, the AAEC has to pursued a strategy of “institutional partnering” to increase the
number of awards it can offer and the scope of its activities. By the end of the 2010-2011 program year,
the AAEC had operative partnering and cost-sharing relationships for twenty jointly funded awards, and
it wishes to acknowledge the valuable support it is receives from the institutions and individuals listed

I. THE AUSTRIAN-AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION BOARD
The Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC) board consists of ten members: five U.S. citizens
and five Austrian citizens nominated to serve for one calendar year by their respective governments. The five
U.S. members, two of whom are Foreign Service officers from the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, are nominated to
serve on the board by the U.S. Ambassador. Three of the five Austrian members appointed by the Austrian
government traditionally have been Austrian university professors and two have been representatives of the
Ministry responsible for higher education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, respectively. The dates of the
initial appointment of the respective members are noted in brackets below.
The AAEC Board meets on a quarterly basis to discuss budgetary, policy, procedural, and program issues
and has a number of subcommittees that meet on an ad hoc basis. The Executive Director of the AAEC
reports to and is monitored by the AAEC board.
The AAEC Chairperson and the AAEC Treasurer are elected annually. These positions rotate annually
between the Austrian and U.S. members of the Board. The Austrian Minister responsible for higher education
and the Ambassador of the United States of America to Austria serve as honorary chairpersons of the AAEC.

II. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
During the 2010-11 program year, the Austrian-American Educational Commission had an operative
budget of $ 1,530,000 (€ 1,141,000). Under the auspices of Fulbright grants, Austrian and U.S.
grantees received an additional $ 788,000 (€ 586,000) of direct or in-kind support in the form of
scholarships, tuition remissions, housing, or salaries for teaching assistants. The AAEC was in a
position to fund 67 grants for Austrian and American Fulbright grantees in its core programs

Furthermore, 3 Austrian scholars received grants under the auspices of the Fulbright-Schuman Program
cofounded by the European Commission and the U.S. Government, and the AAEC brought 5 U.S.
Fulbright scholars participating in the program from other states in Europe as guest lecturers to Austria
as participants in the Intercountry Lecture Program.
The AAEC also facilitated the placement of 140 U.S. College and university graduates as U.S. Teaching
Assistants at Austrian secondary schools under the auspices of a program it has managed for the
Austrian Ministry of Education, the Arts and Culture since 1962. U.S. teaching assistants are assigned
schools in communities large and small all over Austria. They work with well over one thousand different
teachers and have contact with an estimated 40,000 students each week.
The commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of the signing of the initial Fulbright agreement between
Austria and the United States in 1950 that began in during the 2009-2010 program year with an Festakt
at the Academy of Sciences in Vienna on
June 7, 2010 attended by over 350 friends,
associates and alumna of the AustrianAmerican Fulbright Program continued
during the 2010-2011 program year.
Fulbright at Sixty -- the documentary the
AAEC commissioned from Georg Steinböck
to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of
Austrian-American Fulbright exchanges -was screened at four different venues in the
United States on October 3, 9, 12, and 15,
respectively: the Center for Austrian Studies
at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis;
the Annual Meeting of the German Studies
Association in Oakland, CA; the Austrian
Embassy in Washington, DC, and the
Institute of International Education in New
York City. The Office for Science and
Technology in North America (OSTINA),
Washington, DC, and the Austrian Cultural
Forums in Washington, DC, and New York
City provided exceptional support in the
organization of these screenings. Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Educational and
Cultural Affairs Alina Romanowski and
Austrian Ambassador Christian Prosl spoke
at the Washington screening which was
attended by 190 people.

Affairs Section of the U.S.
Embassy and the Austrian
Ministry of Science and
Research and in collaboration
with the Institute of
Contemporary History,
University of Vienna, the AAEC
also organized and hosted an
international conference at the
Amerika Haus on November 1819: Impacts – Does Academic
Exchange Matter? The purpose
of this conference was to
highlight ongoing research on
the various topics related to
academic exchange and to
stimulate further reflection on the
state of cultural diplomacy,
scholarly internationalism, and
the their ultimate impacts on

speakers and twenty-eight
scholars (from Australia, Austria,
Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States) presented papers in seven panels during
this two-day conference that was attended by over 100 people. A representative cross section of these
papers will be published in the Austrian journal for contemporary history Zeitgeschichte in 2012.

Among other noteworthy events and initiatives during the 2010-11 program year were:

As of the 2010-11 program year, the AAEC, WU Vienna, and Craig and Kathryn Hall Foundation
agreed to anchor the Fulbright-Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship in Central Europe
at the WU Vienna for three years. Under the auspices of this award, Prof. Anthony Di Benedetto
from the Fox School of Business at Temple University, PA, not only taught and advised students
in Vienna but also designed and taught a special intensive course at the Graduate School of
Management of St. Petersburg State University in Russia.

In December, the AAEC received 51 applications from the Council for International Exchange of
Scholars from American scholars and scientists for the grants it awards under the auspices of
the U.S. Scholars Program in Austria: an increase of 40% in comparison with the average of
previous years.

In February, the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research offered to sponsor up to four
research awards for U.S. Fulbright PhD candidates under the auspices of its Mach
Postgraduate Scholarship Program; the J. William Scholarship Board approved these new
collaborative awards. The four Fulbright-Mach awards will be available as of the 2011-12
program year and represent an indirect contribution of € 33,840 toward the U.S. student
program.

In February, the AAEC continued to update its online presence and augmented its webpage with
a series of fora for students, teaching assistants and scholars conceived to improve
communication among potential and current grantees. See http://www.fulbright.at/forum

During the summer semester of 2011, Prof. William Woessner from the Department of
Geosciences at the University of Montana, Missoula, was the inaugural Fulbright-NAWI Graz
Visiting Professor in the Natural Sciences. The programming for this award is unique insofar as
it is cosponsored by two Austrian universities – Karl Franzens University Graz and the Graz
University of Technology – under the auspices of a joint natural sciences project (NAWI Graz).


In March, the AAEC submitted a proposal to the Dietrich W. Botstiber Foundation requesting
$120,000 to fund two Fulbright-Botstiber Visiting Professors for Austrian-American Studies –
one in Austria and one in the U.S – for a period of three years starting with the 2012/13 program
year. The Advisory Board of the Botstiber Foundation enthusiastically approved this proposal in
June and the AAEC and the Botstiber Foundation subsequently concluded a letter of
understanding in August.

On June 21, Austrian Minister of Science and Research Karlheinz Töchterle awarded AAEC
Executive Director Lonnie Johnson the Austrian Cross of Merit for Science and Art, First Class,
to acknowledge his contributions to the cultivation of Austrian-American relations.

With special support from the European Branch of the Bureau for Educational and Cultural
Affairs, Washington, DC, AAEC staff organized and hosted a European Fulbright Staff
Workshop in Vienna at the Amerika Haus from August 30 through September 2. This workshop
gave 31 program officers from 21 European Fulbright commissions a unique opportunity to
exchange views and share best practices. Facilitators from Washington, DC, and New York City
included Lisa Bernstein (ECA), Lydia Taylor (ECA), Jean McPeek (CIES), Rachel Holskin (IIE)
and Arthur Austin (IIE).

III. THE FULBRIGHT AWARDS
Austrian Students
The AAEC received 109 applications from Austrian students for Fulbright placement and financial aid in
May 2009 and interviewed 98 candidates in June 2009 for the 2010/11 program year. The Commission
initially nominated 25 candidates and recommended them to the Institute of International Education (IIE)
in New York for placement in Master’s and PhD programs in October 2009.
One of the great advantages of working with IIE is the central management of applications to U.S.
universities. Austrian candidates list up to four universities to which they wish to apply. The IIE
placement section reviews these proposals for balance. Based on the candidate’s choice of program
and prospects for admission, IIE suggests alternate institutions, taking the prospects of tuition remission
or scholarships into account. IIE also submits applications for candidates, which gives them the added
advantage of entering the admissions review process at the respective institutions as potential Fulbright
grantees, and it assumes all application-related costs.
The Institute of International Education also annually organizes so-called Gateway Programs: one-weeklong orientation programs with the following objectives: to provide skills essential for academic success;
to provide an introduction to U.S. academic culture; to reinforce the Fulbright identity; to explain the roles
of the sponsoring and administrative agencies; to provide a period of acclimation to life and study in the
U.S.; and to begin Fulbright networking activities.
Austrian Fulbright students 2010-11 at the predeparture orientation.
Eleven Austrian students participated in Gateway Programs with other incoming Fulbright grantees from
all over the world before starting their academic programs. During their first academic year in the U.S.,
Austrian Fulbright students also were eligible to apply for participation in four-day-long “Enrichment
Seminars”, which were held at different regional venues in the U.S. between February and April with all
travel costs and per diems being assumed by IIE.

“My first year in the Comparative Literary and
Cultural Studies program has not only fulfilled
my expectations, but significantly surpassed
them. My classes have given me a much
more profound handling of literary and cultural
theory and the contacts to my peers,
professors and colleagues at conferences has
provided new insights and inspirations.”
Mag. Martina Koegeler
Austrian Fulbright Student 2010-11

Of the 25 candidates the AAEC initially nominated for awards, 8 candidates ultimately withdrew from the
program for personal or professional reasons, and IIE placed 17 Austrian students at U.S. universities.
The AAEC provided Austrian Fulbright students with travel grants of € 800, grant-related health and
accident insurance, and awards of up to $25,000 for tuition and/or living expenses.
The level of support individual students received from the AAEC depended upon the overall costs of the
programs individuals chose and the scholarship and financial aid offers receiving institutions made.
Although the majority of students received the full $25,000 awards, five of the 21 Austrian Fulbrighters
received such generous offers from receiving U.S. institutions that they did not require the entire
$25,000 award to cover their tuition and living costs.
“In the beginning, the American system of
teaching at the university took some time to
get used to. It seems a lot of readings, until
one finds one’s own method to deal with the
reading material. I enjoyed the Socratic
method, though - even if it can be intimidating
at times. It means one always has to be
prepared – for every single class. Foreign
students should really take that under
advisement.”
Mag. Esther Hackl

Harvard University
Furthermore, IIE solicited scholarships, grants, and tuition rebates for Austrian Fulbright students from
their receiving institutions totaling $ 186,551. IIE also provided $ 25,000 in support from its Shepherd
Fund in June 2011 as the second-year funding of four candidates from the 2009-10 Fulbright student
cohort.

Since the academic year 2005-2006, the Austrian Fulbright Student Program has been used as the
institutional vehicle to award grants previously funded in a separate program and known as BMWF
Postgraduate Stipendien. The combination of Fulbright awards with BMWF postgraduate awards
eliminated a number of redundancies between the programs and represents a very effective allocation
of funds. For the 2010-11 program year, the AAEC received € 360,000 of funding for Austrian
postgraduate awards from the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research. If the AAEC has any
uncommitted Austrian postgraduate funds at the end of a given program year, it rolls these funds over
into a reserve fund for use in future years.
The Austrian Ministry of Science informed the AAEC in November 2010 that, due to severe budgetary
pressures, it was compelled to reduce the level of funding it could place at the disposal of the AAEC for
Austrian postgraduate awards as of the 2012-13 program year to € 200,000. The AAEC in turn decided
to correspondingly reduce the number of awards it would offer in the future.
“Columbia University extremely challenged
me, but at the same time advanced me. I was
more productive than ever before and realized
six short films in only a few months. They
were shown and received very positive
feedback at Columbia and some cinemas in
New York City.”

Twenty-five Austrian students from previous program years had their Fulbright status extended for
another year of study.

Austrian Teaching Assistants
Eighteen Austrians applied for Fulbright German language teaching assistantships. They were
graduates of post-secondary teacher training institutions, universities, or students of English, German,
translation, or Deutsch als Fremdsprache (DAF) in the second stage − zweiter Studienabschnitt − of
their studies.
“I really enjoyed this year and I am grateful
that I was given this unique opportunity. The
Fulbright Program is a great program and I
can just recommend everybody to apply. All
the orientations, beginning in our home
countries, were just great and very well
organized.”
Mag. Theresa Mairhofer

Juniata College, PA
2010-11
In collaboration with the Institute of International Education (IIE), the Commission placed 13 Austrians as
German language teaching assistants at U.S. colleges and universities under the auspices of the
Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship (FLTA) Program. Austrian FLTAs received travel
grants of € 800; grant-related health and accident insurance; and, in most cases, partial maintenance
grants from the AAEC. These grants are calculated on a case-to-case basis, contingent upon the
benefits (room and board) or salaries and stipends individual FLTAs received as teaching assistants
from their respective host institutions. The AAEC attempted to ensure that the total in-kind and cash
value of all FLTA awards was equal to at least $ 14,000.

IIE organized regional Gateway Orientation Seminars for FLTAs from all over the world to provide them
with an introduction to U.S. culture; to exchange ideas and experiences about teaching foreign
languages to U.S. students; and to explain the roles of sponsoring and administering agencies. FLTAs
were also invited to attend a three-day mid-year seminar in Washington, D.C, in December, which
brought together program participants from all over the country. All associated travel costs,
accommodations, and per diems for this event were assumed by IIE.
“Being a teaching assistant for German made
me be aware of all the difficulties and
challenges of studying my mother language.
Therefore, I could learn a lot about teaching
German grammar, literature and culture. The
chance to work with students in different
language levels motivated me to try out
various teaching techniques as well as focus
on a variety of topics.”

The AAEC is particularly interested in continuing to develop this aspect of the program. It fulfills the
Fulbright mandate well and is flexible as well as cost-effective. Host institutions provide a combination of
stipends and salaries or in-kind awards for housing and meals (totaling $ 124,045) in addition to waiving
the tuition for two courses per semester (with tuition remission totaling $ 209,631) The total cash and inkind value of the teaching assistantship positions Austrian FLTAs assumed in 2010-11 was $ 333,676,
and the average level of support (including tuition remission) for each Austrian teaching assistant was
$25,667.
“This year was an outstanding experience. I
wanted to introduce young Americans to
Austrian culture and language. I wanted to
inspire them not only to visit Germany but also
its smaller neighbor, and so I did. I wanted to
demonstrate myself that I can do it, teaching
my own class along with surviving two
graduate courses. And I did it.”

The AAEC has provisions for flexibly awarding grants ranging between 3 and 4 months. It awarded a
total of 15 months worth of grants to 4 grantees, including an annual Fulbright Visiting Professorship at
the University of Minnesota (College of Liberal Arts and Center for Austrian Studies, a partnership
inaugurated in 2002-2003). The University of Minnesota tops off this AAEC award with a partial salary
and local housing allowance.
In 2010-2011, the Fulbright Visiting Professor at the University of Minnesota was awarded to Dr.
Annemarie Steidl, University of Vienna, who taught at the Department of History. This award rotates
annually to a different host department and will move to the Department of Gender Studies in 2011-12.

The four Austrian scholars supported by the AAEC each received a travel grant of € 800, grant-related
health and accident insurance, and a maintenance grant of $2,500 per month to pursue research and/or
teach in the U.S.
“Some results of my research were added to
my […] habilitation thesis – which will be
published in the course of this year. […] In
addition I’m planning to publish an article on
the results and added material to another
article which is in publication right now.”

Three other Austrian scholars applied for Fulbright awards under the auspices of the Fulbright-Schuman
Program cofounded by the European Commission and the U.S. Government and received awards
totaling $ 45,000 for a total of 12 months in the U.S. with institutional affiliations in Hawaii, Minnesota,
and Washington, DC.

U.S. Students

student 2010/11 working on an
optical resonator at the
University in Innsbruck
The national screening committee of the Institute of International Education in New York recommended
20 candidates for the academic fields, 1 for the Diplomatic Academy and 2 for the arts to the AAEC for
review and selection for the 2010-11 program year.
The AAEC initially budgeted 8 full research grants and 12 study grants combined with a teaching
assistantship position at Austrian secondary schools for the 2010-2011 program year. Research grants
are usually awarded to PhD candidates and graduate students or recent undergraduates with study
proposals that demand full-time study; study grants combined with teaching assistantships are usually
awarded to students who have recently completed their BA or are working on a Master’s degree. Each
grantee received a flat rate travel grant of € 800 and grant-related health and accident insurance
financed by the Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs under the auspices of the program. Students
with grants combined with teaching assistantship positions were also insured under the auspices of the
Austrian national health schemes by virtue of their “employment” at their respective schools. The AAEC
assumed the premiums for similar coverage for the full research grantees.
“Living in Vienna for 9 months, I enjoyed
access to locals and the possibility to have
discussions about topics that would have
never evolved in interactions had on a 3
month research trip”
Elizabeth Anthony, PhD candidate
Fulbright Research Student at the University
of Vienna 2010/11
“Rückkehrer: Holocaust Survivors’
Repatriation to Austria”
The AAEC ultimately decided to award 6 full research grants, which included one Fulbright/Diplomatic
Academy joint award (€ 550 maintenance per month for 9 months plus € 10,000 tuition with a 50%
remission from the Diplomatic Academy).
The AAEC awarded 8 study grants combined with teaching assistantship positions. Students with these
so-called “combined awards” received gross monthly salaries of € 1,305 per month for 8 months
(October-May) and a one-month maintenance grant of € 875 from the AAEC to conclude the academic
year in June.

Fulbright Combined Grantees 2010/11 Hannah Goodwin (behind, left) and Brandi Smith (behind, right) acted as
volunteer English tutors at the Viennese youth organization Backbone.
“[Tutoring at Backbone] was probably the
single best thing I could have done for getting
an understanding of Austria´s present society
and problems.”
Hannah Goodwin, BA
Fulbright Combined Grantee at the University
of Vienna 2010/11
“Religious Pluralism in Austria-Hungary,
1870-1914”
During the 2000-2001 academic year, the Austrian Government introduced tuition fees of ATS 5,000 (€
363) per semester for Austrian citizens and € 727 per semester for international students, starting with
the 2001-2002 academic year. However, the relevant legislation exempted outgoing Austrian students
and incoming international students, such as U.S. Fulbrighters, whose mobility is financed under the
auspices of government-supported exchange programs. Hence, outgoing Austrian Fulbright students
still enrolled in Austrian universities (for second degrees or doctoral studies) and incoming American
Fulbright grantees were exempted from paying tuition fees in 2010-2011.
Although tuition for foreign students at Austrian universities is low by U.S. standards, one has to bear in
mind that the actual costs of university study in Austria are borne by the Austrian government and
taxpayers. The National Center for Educational Statistics in Washington, D.C. estimates the public
expenditure per student for higher education in Austria to average around
$ 15,000 per year.

“I feel I had more of an impact in this area as
a USTA than as a research grantee. Biases
and preconceptions about the US are
prevalent at all levels of Austrian society, but
at the laboratory, I´m just another American
scientist, while in the classroom I´m a curiosity
from the land of pop culture.”

U.S. Lecturers/Researchers
“This has undoubtedly been the greatest
positive educational experience of my life. It is
an opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to
live, work, teach and learn immersed in a
country, culture, school, and language
different from the day to day life we live back
home has been an invaluable opportunity.”
Prof. James McMurtry Longo
Fulbright-University of Klagenfurt
Distinguished Chair in Gender Studies
The AAEC received 37 peer-reviewed applications from the Council for International Exchange of
Scholars (CIES): 17 applications for Distinguished Chair awards at universities in Graz, Innsbruck,
Klagenfurt, Linz, Salzburg, and Vienna and 20 applications for all other “traditional” Fulbright scholar
awards managed by the AAEC.
The AAEC funded 14 awards
for U.S. lecturers and
researchers during the 20102011 program year: 8
Distinguished Chairs,
including the Fulbright-Hall
Chair for Entrepreneurship in
Central Europe; 1 “all
disciplines” lecture/research
award; 1 lecturing in American
Studies award; 1 FulbrightDiplomatic Academy Visiting
Professor; 1 Fulbright-Freud
award; 1 Fulbright-NAWI Graz
award, and 1 Fulbrightquartier21/MQ artist-inresidence.

The majority of awards for
U.S. scholars are based on
partnering agreements with a
wide variety of Austrian
institutions (see page 2).
These so-called “hyphenated
awards” provide for a good
distribution of U.S. Fulbright
scholars in Austria by
discipline and by region. U.S.
scholars taught in six Austrian
“university cities” and at a
total of 14 different
institutions. Each Fulbright
lecturer negotiated the topic,
form, level and content of their
courses in advance with their
respective Austrian host
institutions and taught up to
three courses consisting of
two Austrian academic hours
each.
U.S. Fulbright scholars regularly
serve as “local talent” by lecturing at
the annual Altenmarkt Seminar in
American Studies – an event that
brings together U.S. students and
scholars with the outgoing cohort of
Austrian students and FLTAs -- and
they also serve as American
experts on the bi-national panels
the AAEC organizes to interview
candidates for the Austrian student
program each June.
Prof. Liane Weissberg (University of Pennsylvania) Fulbright Freud
Visiting Scholar in Vienna 2010-11
“Much of our interaction with Austrians has
been thanks to our little boy William. Austrians
strike up conversations with us when they see
him, conversations we might not otherwise
have had.”
A number of institutional partners
also provide housing for U.S.
grantees under the auspices of
cost-sharing agreements, and these
in-kind contributions substantially
enhanced the value of the
respective awards.
Prof. Mary Mitchell
(University of New Orleans)
Fulbright American Studies Scholar at the
University of Innsbruck 2010-11
As of the 2010-11 program year, the AAEC, WU Vienna, and Craig and Kathryn Hall Foundation agreed
to anchor the Fulbright-Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship in Central Europe at the WU
Vienna for three years. This award is designed to give grantees the opportunity to engage in “split-site”
teaching, and Prof. Anthony Di Benedetto from the Fox School of Business at Temple University, PA,
taught not only at the WU Vienna but also designed and taught a special intensive course at the
Graduate School of Management
of St. Petersburg State University
in Russia.
Over 66% of the funding for the
U.S. Scholar program was
provided to the AAEC by
institutional partners for
disbursement under the auspices
of jointly funded grants. This
corresponds to 23% of the
Fulbright grant budget overall.

Fulbright Specialist Program
In 2000 the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs established a program of short-term grants (2 to 6
weeks) to attract a new group of individuals to the program. This initiative is centrally funded and
administered by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) in Washington, D.C. Under
the auspices of this program, grantees receive an honorarium of $200 per day and round-trip flight costs
to conduct needs, assessments, surveys, institutional or programmatic research; take part in specialized
academic programs and conferences in conjunction with other scheduled activities; consult with
administrators and instructors of post-secondary institutions on faculty development; present lectures at
graduate and undergraduate levels; participate in or lead seminars or workshops at overseas academic
institutions; develop and/or assess academic curricula or educational materials; or conduct teachertraining programs at the tertiary level. It requires host institutions to assume the on-site costs for
housing, meals and local transportation.
Two Fulbright Specialists spent a total of 61 days on assignment in Austria during the 2010-2011
program year: Dr. Michael Monhollon from Hardin-Simmons University in Texas lectured on “Special
Aspects of Business Administration” at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg, while Dr. Ephraim
Suhir from the University of California Santa Cruz was hosted by the Technical University of Vienna for a
project in Information Technology.
Intercountry Lecture Program
The Fulbright Intercountry Lecture Program facilitates the travel of Fulbright grantees from other
European countries to Austria by covering the costs of round-trip travel, based upon the invitation of
Austrian host institutions and the assumption that the Austrian host institutions will cover on-site costs
(accommodations and per diems). During the 2010-2011 program year, five U.S. Fulbright Scholars
from Norway, Germany, and Finland were invited by Austrian host institution under the auspices of the
Intercountry Lecture Program. Hosting institutions were the Department of American Studies at the
University of Salzburg; the Austrian Institute for International Affairs (oiip); the Institute of Philosophy at
the University of Graz; the Department of Cognitive Biology at the University of Vienna; and the
Department of Communication of the University of Salzburg.

IV. THE U.S. FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIP PROGRAM
Since 1962, the AAEC has facilitated the placement of 2,805 U.S. College and university graduates in
the Austrian Ministry of Education’s Anglophone Teaching Assistantship Program. In accordance with
the mandate of the Fulbright Program, but not financed from Fulbright funds, the AAEC has traditionally
assumed responsibility for the recruitment and nomination of U.S. teaching assistants and -- after their
placement by the Ministry of Education – distributing pre-departure information to students, negotiating
with Austrian authorities regarding residency permits, and providing on-site support after arrival.
“I believe being a teaching assistant has had
a tremendous impact on my life. I have
learned so much about the Austrian culture
through this experience, and have discovered
positive things about myself, and the way that
I work.”
Heather Meyer
U.S. TA 2010-11 Bundesbildungsanstalt für
Kindergartenpädagogik Linz, Upper Austria
The efforts of the AAEC secretariat have substantially increased the number as well as the quality of
applications for the U.S. Teaching Assistant Program. At the same time, the number of British students
interested in participating in the program has decreased in recent years, and the Ministry of Education,
Culture and the Arts has turned to the AAEC and U.S. teaching assistants to make up for this shortfall of
Anglophone assistants.
This program has been characterized by steady growth in applications and placements in the past
decade. For the 1999-2000 academic year, for example, the AAEC received a total of 133 applications
and ultimately facilitated the placement of 101 U.S. teaching assistants. Ten years later in 2009-10, the
AAEC received a total of 367 applications and facilitated 142 placements (including the 12 U.S. Fulbright
students who received study grants combined with teaching assistantships). The AAEC received 272
applications for the 2010-11 program year and placed a total of 140 U.S. teaching assistants (including 8
U.S. Fulbright students with combined grants). This group included 40 teaching assistants with superior
records of performance who extended their assistantships for a second year.
The U.S. teaching assistants placed at Austrian secondary schools in 2010-11 represented a highly
diverse cohort and came from institutions in 35 different U.S. States. The top U.S. “sending states” were
Minnesota (15), Ohio (12) and Oregon (12). (See appendix 7).
21
Teaching assistants were
placed in all nine Austrian
provinces, in larger as well
as smaller communities,
and in a variety of different
types of secondary schools.
As a rule, U.S. teaching
assistants were assigned to
2 different schools in the
same community and taught
13 classes per week.
Therefore, they were
present in well over 200
schools and 1,600
classrooms in an average
week, during which they
had contact with an
estimated 40,000 students.
This program can truly be
considered a major
contribution to the cultural
exchange between the U.S.
Katherine Mawdsley, U.S. TA 2010-11, Bundeshandelsakademie und
Bundeshandelsschule, Feldkirchen, Kärnten, with her English students
and Austria. It gives
Austrian teachers and
pupils the opportunity to
have a native speaker as a linguistic model and source of information about the United States in the
classroom, and it provides a diverse group of American teaching assistants with an opportunity to
immerse themselves in Austrian culture in the broadest sense of the word. Their activities as “linguistic
and cultural diplomats” extend well beyond the limitations of the classroom situation.
U.S. teaching assistants receive gross salaries of € 1,305 per month from the Austrian school authorities
from October 2009 through May 2010 and have full health and accident insurance coverage under the
auspices of assistantships. The total annual funding allocated to salaries alone for this program
represents € 1,461,600 (over $1,961,000).
Since 2001 the
AAEC has
received discrete
funding for this
program from the
Austrian Ministry
of Education, the
Arts and Culture
to defray part of
the administrative
costs it annually
incurs to advertise
the program,
manage and
review
applications,
coordinate
placements, and
advise U.S.
teaching
assistants on site.

V. Additional Fulbright activities
September Orientation
The U.S. grantees and their dependents attended a four-day orientation program at the end of
September in Vienna prior to beginning their assignments, studies, and research. The AAEC
annually invites representatives of Austrian Ministry of Science and Research and the Austrian
Ministry for Foreign Affairs as well as Austrian scholars to give presentations as part of this
orientation program, which is conceived to provide U.S. grantees with general insight into the
Austrian system of higher education, Austrian history, and current political and social issues in
Austria. The fall orientation for incoming students and scholars includes guided tours of the
Austrian National Library in the Hofburg Palace and a day trip to the Wachau Valley that
combines a tour of the Melk Monastery with a river cruise down the Danube.
Staff Training in Washington and New York
From October 31 to November 5, 2010 the European and Eurasian Programs Branch in the
Office of Academic Exchange Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the
U.S. Department of State organized a Fulbright Commission Staff Training in Washington and
New York. The program consisted of visits to ECA, CIES and IIE as well as lectures and
discussions hosted by the respective agencies. Dr. Irene Zavarsky, a recent addition to the AAEC
staff, participated in this program.
U.S. Ambassador’s Reception
Honorary Co-Chair U.S. Ambassador to Austria William C. Eacho III and his wife, Donna, invited
“homecoming” Austrian Fulbright grantees, who had completed their courses of study in the U.S. in the
past year; “incoming” U.S. Fulbright grantees, who had recently arrived to spend the academic year in
Austria; AAEC Board members and staff; institutional partners of the AAEC; and friends and associates
of the Fulbright Program to a reception at his residence on November 24, 2010. This reception has
traditionally been held during International Education Week.

Fulbright Prize in American Studies
Since 2004, the AAEC has facilitated the award of an annual Fulbright Prize in American Studies in a
competition managed by the Austrian Association of American Studies. At the annual conference of the
AAAS in Graz in November 2010, Dr. Lonnie Johnson awarded this prize to Mag.a Judith Kohlenberger
(University of Vienna) for the best Master thesis, “"Isn't it Byronic? Romanticism, Postmodernism and
the Rule of the Cool," and to Dr. Florian Sedlmeier (University of Salzburg) for the best doctoral
dissertation, “Rereading Literary Form: Transpositions, Paratexts, and Postethnic Literature around
2000.”
Mag. Kohlenberger and Dr. Sedlmeier at the award ceremony
February Orientation for U.S. Scholars
Due to the poor interface between the U.S. and the Austrian academic calendars, the great majority of
U.S. Fulbright scholars participate in the program during the Austrian “Sommer Semester.” Therefore,
the AAEC secretariat organizes a two-day orientation seminar at the end of February to provide U.S.
Fulbright scholars with a general introduction to Austria and Austrian higher education; to allow these
grantees to get to know each other; and to discuss housekeeping issues. It also lays the foundation for
the participation of U.S. scholars in the Altenmarkt Seminar in American Studies in April and as
participants in the panels responsible for interviewing candidates for the Austrian student program in
June.
24
Altenmarkt Seminar in American Studies
The AAEC organized its annual four-day Altenmarkt Seminar in American Studies at the end of April
2011 for 77 participants: 21 Austrian Fulbright students, 17 "at-large" Austrian students, 19 U.S.
Fulbright students and U.S. Teaching Assistants, together with 7 U.S. Fulbright lecturers, 4 staff
members and 9 U.S. faculty family members. This seminar is a unique opportunity to bring together
current U.S. Fulbright grantees (students and professors) with Austrian candidates for Fulbright student
awards and Austrian FLTAs, who are preparing to spend the next academic year in the U.S.
The AAEC relies on the “local talent” of U.S. scholars to put together a program that is related to
American Studies in the broadest sense. This year’s program talks addressed a variety of topics such
as: "Does the Transatlantic Alliance Still Work?” by Prof. Stuart Kaufman; Department of Political
Science and International Relations, University of Delaware and Fulbright-Diplomatic Academy Vienna
Visiting Professor; “Yes We Can?: Barack Obama and American Politics” by Prof. Alan Lloyd Draper,
Department of Government, St. Lawrence University and Fulbright-University of Innsbruck Distinguished
Chair in Humanities and Social Sciences; “Presidents and First Ladies of the United States as Students,
Teachers, and Educational Policy Makers” by Prof. James McMurtry Longo, Department of Education,
Washington and Jefferson College and Fulbright-University of Klagenfurt Distinguished Chair in Gender
Studies; “Ideologically Divided and in Debt: Prospects for Tax Reform in the U.S.” by Prof. Joseph
Clifton Fleming, Jr., J. Reuben Clark Law School, Brigham Young University, and Fulbright-Vienna
University of Economics and Business Administration Distinguished Chair; and "Politics of Landscape”
by Prof. Michael E. Harkin, Department of Anthropology, University of Wyoming and Fulbright-University
of Graz Distinguished Chair in Cultural Studies.
U.S. and Austrian Fulbright Grantees 2010-2011 at the Altenmarkt seminar
The Altenmarkt Seminar also provides AAEC program officers with opportunities to discuss the
finalization of grant arrangements as well as financial and visa issues with the Austrian grantees, whose
placement as graduate students or FLTAs has been finalized by this point in the program cycle. Part of
the program is dedicated to having U.S. Fulbright scholars help orient the outgoing Austrian grantees.
This year U.S. Students and Scholars advised “at large” students and Austrian program participants in
the session “Studying in the US: Meet the Experts”. A poster session was introduced this year to give
U.S. Fulbright student grantees an opportunity to share their work with all seminar participants.
25
Pre-departure Orientation and Farewell Dinner
At the end of June, the AAEC held a final pre-departure orientation meeting with the “outgoing” Austrian
grantees. This event was followed by the traditional farewell dinner for homeward-bound U.S.
Fulbrighters and provided them with an opportunity to meet with the outward-bound Austrian Fulbright
grantees, whom they initially met at the Altenmarkt Seminar in American Studies in April.

the Going-Away Heurigen
July Orientation for Candidates for Fulbright Student Awards
There are substantial lead times associated with the Austrian student program. Candidates interested in
awards for the 2012-13 program year apply for grants in May 2011. The annual Fulbright award
competition closed at the beginning of May; candidates were interviewed in early June; and they were
notified about the status of their applications by the end of June. At the beginning of July, Mag.
Alexandra Enzi (the program officer responsible for the Austrian student program) and Dr. Johnson held
a special seminar designed to give Fulbright candidates a more sophisticated understanding of U.S.
higher education in general and the nature of the application process in particular. The purpose of this
seminar is to give candidates the tools they need to investigate programs and institutions intelligently
and to re-craft their applications in a manner that will enhance their chances of being admitted to the
programs of their choice once the applications are formally submitted in the fall.
26
Educational Advising/Public Information
The secretariat of the AAEC is a U.S. Department of State-affiliated educational advising center and
regularly handles a large number and wide variety of queries on educational opportunities in the U.S.,
thus providing a public service and fulfilling part of its mandate to serve as a clearinghouse in AustrianAmerican educational affairs in the broadest sense of the word. Whether or not an Austrian student or
scholar applies for a Fulbright grant, the AAEC is recognized as the source of information in Austria
about study and research opportunities in the United States. Americans abroad also turn to the AAEC
regarding schooling and higher education in Austria and in the United States. Educational advising also
entails a coaching and counseling component insofar as the general public who contact the AAEC often
need assistance in formulating their questions and ultimately their career goals.
During the program year, Mag. Alexandra Enzi, Mag. Andreas Raab, and Dr. Irene Zavarsky regularly
participated in study abroad fairs organized by Austrian universities (Vienna University of Technology,
University of Vienna, University of Graz, Graz University of Technology, University of Natural Resources
and Life Sciences, Vienna). Mag. Enzi also participated in various outreach activities (for example, at the
Centre International Universitaire, Vienna).
Mag. Enzi, along with Mag. Dall and Dr. Zavarsky, also represented the AAEC at the OeAD
Hochschultagung in October 2010 at the Technical University in Vienna where she introduced the
forthcoming changes in the Fulbright student program.
Mag. Enzi and Dr. Zavarsky represented the AAEC at the BeST – the Job, Training and Education Fair in Vienna in March 2011 in collaboration with CIU.

In May 2011, the AAEC organized its first PhD workshop designed to give Austrian graduate students a
better appreciation of the difference between doctoral programs in Europe and the United States. It was
attended by 30 participants The workshop consisted of two sessions: an overview on PhDs in the U.S.
and how best to apply for them - including information on financial assistance; and a “Meet the Experts”
panel with a U.S. professor, a U.S. PhD student and an Austrian who studied for his PhD in the U.S.
This event was well received. In an online survey sent out after the event, 76 % of the participants rated
the workshop as very informative and noted that the information on the differences of the Austrian and
US educational systems and the fact that it is crucial to find the "perfect match" when applying for a PhD
program as the most important information they had received.
The AAEC regularly updates its website to promote various aspects of the Fulbright grant program, and
its website also provides in-depth information on the educational systems of Austria and the United
States, with a concentration on higher education as well as scholarships and grants. It also has links to
related sites with related information on issues such as visas and general information on life and travel
in the United States.
The AAEC secretariat also regularly works together with the Legal Affairs Section for Universities and
the Austrian National Academic Recognition Information Center (NARIC) at the Austrian Ministry of
Science and Research on an ad hoc basis.
Alumni Activities
Austrian and American grantees at the end of their grant period receive a Fulbright certificate signed by
the honorary co-chairs of the AAEC plus an invitation to become a member of the national Fulbright
Alumni Association in Vienna, or in Washington, D.C., respectively.
Initiated and supported by the AAEC secretariat, an Austrian Fulbright Alumni Association was founded
in 1994. At the end of the program year, the association had over 400 registered members.
The AAEC has a prominent link from the starting page of its website to the website of the Alumni
Association, and Dr. Johnson regularly attends meetings of the Board of the Austrian Alumni Association
on an ex officio basis.
The AAEC and the Alumni Association also jointly sponsor at least one lecture each year – traditionally
at the Diplomatic Academy – followed by a reception.

Breakdown by categories of support: AAEC grantees, 2010-11
Documentation No. 2: Program Income and Expenses
The figures for AAEC income and expenses for the 2010-11 program year in this report are based on
the AAEC annual audit for the U.S. fiscal year 2011 (October 2010 – September 2011) that corresponds
to the AAEC program year and the Austrian and American academic years of 2010-11.
USD income (primarily the U.S. Government contribution) and USD expenses (grants for Austrian
grantees) are recorded in the AAEC accounts using the USD/€ market exchange rates applicable upon
the dates of individual transactions. In light of the fact that the accounts of the AAEC are kept in Euro, a
line item has been included to account for the difference between the USD/€ exchange rates in effect
when the U.S. Government funds were received during the fiscal year and individual Austrian grant
payments were made in USD for the program year.. The exchange rate used for end-of-fiscal-year
reporting on September 30, 2011 is $ 1.00 /€ 0.745 which accounts for the currency adjustment of - $
28.673.
As of the 1999-2000 program year, the AAEC reduced its exposure to exchange rate risk to a
considerable extent by disbursing its grants for Austrian program participants in the United States in
USD and for U.S. program participants in Austria in Euro.
In its program plan for the 2010-2011 program year, adopted on December 15, 2008, the AAEC
budgeted a U.S. Government contribution of $ 370,000, based on the previous year’s contribution. The
US Government increased its core allocation for the Fulbright program by $ 10,000 to $ 380,000 for the
fiscal year 2011. The AAEC received an additional $ 16,000 for educational advising; $ 14,900 as endof-year and special funding; and $ 40,000 to organize a special workshop for Fulbright commission staff
from all over Europe. The total US Government contribution for all activities in 2010-11 was $ 450,900.
The AAEC budgeted and received an Austrian Government contribution of € 254,355, which
corresponded to the funding levels the AAEC has budgeted as the Austrian Government contribution
since 1998-99 (ATS 3,500,000).
In 2003, the Austrian Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture decided to provide the AAEC with
additional annual funding of up to € 400,000 for postgraduate awards for Austrian Fulbright students and
to discontinue offering postgraduate awards to the U.S. under the auspices of its own postgraduate
scholarship program (BMWF-Postgraduate-Stipendien) as of the academic year 2005-2006. The
Ministry agreed that the AAEC would deduct € 22,700 from this amount to defray related administrative
costs. It also noted that any uncommitted balance of these funds at the end of a given program year
should be held by the AAEC as a reserve and “rolled-over” for use in future years to fund additional
grants.
The AAEC received € 360,000 postgraduate funding for the 2010-11 program year. The total amount
was not expended due to the withdrawals of candidates in the Austrian student program, and the AAEC
rolled € 34,959 into the aforementioned reserve for future use.
Based upon an agreement concluded with the Austrian Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture in
2002, the AAEC began receiving € 36,330 per annum to help cover the costs it incurs in managing the
U.S. Teaching Assistantship Program. As of January 1, 2008, the Ministry adjusted its contribution to €
45,000 per annum, and as of January 2009, secondary schools funded by the Austrian Ministry
Agriculture, Forestry, and Environment began making annual contributions for administrative costs
totaling € 4,710 in 2010-11.
The AAEC received € 160,270 ($ 215,127) directly from institutional partners under the auspices of
jointly sponsored grants, which it disbursed to grantees.
In the course of finalizing the placements of U.S. teaching assistants in the Austrian Ministry program,
U.S. teaching assistants are required to pay an administrative fee of $ 100 to the AAEC when accepting
the position offered to offset a fraction of the substantial administrative costs the AAEC incurs in
administering its end of the U.S. Teaching Assistant Program and as a sign of their commitment to
assume the assigned position. The AAEC received a total of € 9,078 ($12,350) in fees in 2010-11.
The AAEC drew a total of € 27,286 from its Trust Fund to cover program costs.
31
In Kind-Contributions: Complementary Fulbright Program Values
The actual “value” of the Fulbright Program cannot be measured exclusively by the dimensions of the
respective direct government contributions that provide for its core budget for grants and administration.
The AAEC collaborates with a large number of different organizations and agencies in Austria and the
United States to enhance the value of its grants and the dimension of the Fulbright mandate, and it
attempts to account for these in-kind contributions as well because they directly benefit Fulbright
grantees. During the 2010-11 program year, income from institutional partners under the auspices of
hyphenated awards covered for over 23% (€ 160,270/$ 215.127) of the total expenditures for grants (€
694,436/$932,129). Estimated in-kind contributions that institutions made directly to grantees (salaries,
scholarships, tuition remissions, housing, etc.) accounted for an additional € 586,815 of value: € 0.85
cents on every Euro the AAEC expended. In other words, total grant expenses of € 694,436 accounted
for 54 percent of the total program value of € 1,281,250. (See chart on page 30.)
These figures do not take into account the services that the Council for the International Exchange of
Scholars (CIES), Washington, D.C., and the Institute of International Education (IIE), New York, provide
for the AAEC. These cooperating agencies are responsible for managing the annual Fulbright
competition for U.S. scholars and students and for pre-screening applicants as well as providing
placement and on-site support for incoming Fulbright students and scholars from abroad. The Bureau
for Educational and Cultural Affairs in Washington, D.C. estimates that every U.S. Government dollar
contributed to binational commissions is accompanied by an expenditure of 25 cents for program
management and Fulbright grantees in the U.S. This represents an indirect contribution to the program
of over $ 100,000.
Administration
The AAEC expended € 164,335 ($ 220,584) for student advising and non-grant program activities,
including orientation programs, seminars and the management of the U.S. teaching assistantship
program. It expended € 282,255 ($ 378,866) for Fulbright Program administration, which accounted for
24.7% of the total Fulbright program expenses of € 1,141,027 (($ 1,531,579). However, when
administrative costs are placed in relation to the total value of the programs administered by the AAEC
(taking outside of budget values into account), the account for 9.1% of a total of € 3,105,922 ($
4,169,022).

Documentation No. 3: Financing the Fulbright Program: 1951-52 – 2010-11
Since 1950, the Fulbright Commission has been authorized to expend a cumulative total of
€ 40.3 M for the Fulbright Program in Austria.
The initial Fulbright Act of 1946 provided for the allocation of funds derived from the sale of U.S. surplus
material overseas for educational exchange programs. In 1950, the governments of the Republic of
Austria and the United States of America agreed to establish the U.S. Educational Commission in
Vienna. During the first 14 years of the Fulbright Program, the U.S. Government funded the program
unilaterally by placing a total of ATS 69 M (€ 5 M) at the disposal of the Commission to cover program
costs.
The Fulbright-Hays Act (Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act) of 1961 placed the Fulbright
Program on a new legal and financial basis by making provisions for direct funding via the U.S. federal
budget and providing partner governments with an opportunity to also contribute toward the program.
The governments of Austria and of the United States arrived at a new binational agreement in 1963
establishing the Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC) and providing for the joint financing
of the program.
Preceding this agreement, the United States turned the so-called counterpart fund assets of the
European Recovery Program (Marshall Plan) Fund over to the Republic of Austria and in the process of
doing so agreed that the Austrian Government would place ATS 60 M (€ 4,360,370) of these funds at
the disposal of the newly established binational Fulbright Commission; ATS 52.5 M (€ 3,815,324) was
earmarked for the Fulbright Program and ATS 7.5 M (€ 545,000) was earmarked for the promotion of
American Studies at Austrian universities (Vienna, Graz, Salzburg, Innsbruck).
These funds were invested with the intention that the annual yield serve as the Austrian contribution to
the program. However, adverse currency fluctuations during the 1970s and 1980s as well as insufficient
investment income led to a gradual depletion of the principal. Between 1963-64 and 1984-85, the U.S.
Government contributed $ 3,118,000 toward the costs of the program (approximately ATS 58 M or € 4.2
M at prevailing exchange rates); all other budgeted program expenses (ATS 87 M or € 6.3 M) were
covered by income and principal from the original ERP funds, which served as a Trust Fund for the
AAEC. At the end of 1984-85, the principal in the fund was ATS 15.8 M (€ 1.15 M).
In 1985, the Government of Austria, upon the AAEC's request, began making direct contributions toward
the costs of the Fulbright Program out of its annual federal budget, in order to prevent a further depletion
of the AAEC's Trust Fund. Since 1985, the Austrian government has contributed € 7.2 M to the program,
with an additional € 2.2 M for Fulbright postgraduate awards since 2005-06. During the same time
period, the U.S. government placed $ 8.1 M (€ 7.1 M at prevailing annual exchange rates) at the
disposal of the AAEC. During this time span, the AAEC also has drawn € 1.6 M from income generated
by its Trust Fund to cover program commitments. Furthermore:
a) Since 1987-88, the AAEC has received a total of € 267,634 in the form of administrative fees and
contributions.
b) From 1992-93 until 1996-97 the AAEC managed the Austrian Ministry of Education, Science, and
Research’s postgraduate grants program and disbursed a total of € 4.7 M under the auspices
thereof.
c) Since the 1999-2000 program year, the AAEC has received € 1,690,604 of support under the
auspices of collaborative agreements for jointly sponsored grants: € 1,402,892 as cash contributions
for grants; € 127,682 disbursed as cash stipends directly by partners to grantees; and € 160,029 in
in-kind support.
d) Starting in 2001, the Austrian Ministry of Education began making a discrete annual contribution to
the AAEC to cover part of the administrative costs the AAEC incurs managing the Ministry’s U.S.
Teaching Assistantship Program. To date these contributions total € 402,639.
