Executive Summary
The Austrian Fulbright Commission was established by an executive agreement between the
Republic of Austria and the United States of America in 1950 to manage bilateral educational
and cultural exchange programs with the explicit mandate of promoting mutual understanding
between the people of Austria and the United States. Binational funding and binational decision
making are the core principles around which the bilateral exchanges of the Austrian-American
Fulbright Program are organized. The Fulbright Program provides institutions in both countries
with opportunities to send students and faculty abroad as well as to host students and faculty
from abroad. The person-to-person contacts that the Fulbright Program facilitates are not only
classic expressions of the cultural diplomacy of citizens; the open-ended opportunities inherent
in learning, teaching, and research abroad result in new ideas and new relationships that fuel
innovation, knowledge transfer, and institutional collaboration. Ultimately Fulbright grants
create opportunities and empower individuals and institutions to act constructively in an
international setting.
The Austrian Fulbright Commission has three broad mandates: it has managed Fulbright
grants for over 5,700 Austrian and US students, teaching assistants, teachers, and scholars
and scientists since 1951; it has coordinated the placement of over 2,800 US teaching
assistants at Austrian secondary schools since 1962; and since its inception it has served as
a bilateral clearing house for information on Austrian and US higher education for the Austrian
and American publics at large and provided educational advising services for Austrians
interested in educational opportunities in the United States.
During the 2012-13 program year, the Austrian Fulbright Commission facilitated
58 Fulbright awards:
4 Austrian Scholars at US universities
10 Austrian Students (enrolled in US graduate programs)
12 Austrian German Language Teaching Assistants at US colleges and universities
17 US Scholars at Austrian universities and cultural institutions
15 US students, graduate students and PhD candidates at Austrian universities
In addition to the Fulbright grant program and as part of its mandate to promote educational
exchange, the Austrian Fulbright Commission also placed 135 US college and university
graduates from 107 different institutions as teaching assistants under the auspices of the
Austrian Ministry of Education’s Foreign Language Teaching Assistant program. These US
Teaching Assistants, or USTAs, taught part-time at 240 different schools in communities large
and small in all nine Austrian provinces.
A detailed list of the home and host institutions of all Austrian and US Fulbright grantees
and US Teaching Assistants is in the appendix of this report and illustrates well the diversity
of the participants in the programs the Austrian Fulbright Commission manages in terms of
their origins and destinations in Austria and the United States.
The Austrian Fulbright Commission, Austrian and US Fulbright grantees, and participants in
the US Teaching Assistantship Program the Commission manages relied on the monetary and
in-kind support of a wide variety of different institutions (see the Appendix “Financing
Fulbright” for details). The revenue of the Austrian Fulbright Commission in 2012–13 totaled
€ 1,040,665 ($1,408,207). Austrian and US Fulbright grantees directly received an additional
4
€579,099 ($783,626) as cash or in-kind benefits once on site from institutions in their
respective host countries. Therefore, the total cash and in-kind value of Austrian Fulbright
Commission grant programs totaled €1,619,764 ($2,191,832).
Outside of the Fulbright Program proper, the 135 participants in the US Teaching Assistantship
Program the Austrian Fulbright Commission manages received salaries worth €1,497,262
($2,026,065) from Austrian provincial school boards. Therefore, the total cash and in-kind
benefits either disbursed or brokered by the Austrian Fulbright Commission under the auspices
of Fulbright Program grants and received by participants in the USTA Program totaled
€3,117,026 ($4,217,897).
The 26 Austrian grantees were either graduates or faculty at 12 different Austrian institutions,
and they studied, taught, or conducted research at 24 different US colleges and universities.
They received a total of €673,337 ($911,146) of support in the form of grants from the Austrian
Fulbright Commission or as direct and in-kind support on site from US host institutions in the
form of scholarships, tuition remissions, stipends, salaries, or housing.
The 32 US grantees were either graduates of or faculty at 30 different US colleges and
universities and affiliated with 17 different Austrian universities, research facilities, or cultural
institutions in all major Austrian university cities. They received a total of €494,345 ($708,389)
of support in the form of Fulbright grants or direct and in-kind support on site from Austrian
institutions.
The 135 US Teaching Assistants — in addition to the €1,497,262 ($2,026,065) they received –
also had full health and accident insurance coverage for the duration of their assignments.
In terms of its information, outreach, and advising activities, the Austrian Fulbright Commission
has over 100,000 digital and personal contacts.

The Austrian-American Educational Commission
The Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC or Austrian Fulbright Commission)
consists of a ten member board: five US citizens and five Austrian citizens nominated by their
respective governments to serve on an annual basis. The five US members, including two
Foreign Service officers from the US Embassy in Vienna, are nominated to serve by the US
Ambassador. Two of the five Austrian members appointed by the Austrian government have
traditionally been representatives of the Ministry of Science and Research (responsible for higher education) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, respectively, and three have been Austrianuniversity professors. The date of the initial appointment of each member is noted in brackets
below.
Core funding for the Austrian-American Fulbright Program comes from contributions placed
at the disposal of the Austrian Fulbright Commission by both governments, and it is augmented
by substantial contributions by public and private partners and donors in Austria and the United
States.
Policy and decision-making is always done on a binational basis. 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 AAEC board is actively involved in the
selection and nomination of all Austrian and US Fulbright candidates and solicits the support
of external experts, Austrian and US Fulbright alumni, and US Fulbright scholars on site for
binational candidate review panels.
The AAEC Chairperson and the AAEC Treasurer are elected each year. These positions rotate
annually between the Austrian and US members of the board.
The Executive Director of the AAEC is responsible for the coordination and management of
AAEC agendas and staff, and reports to and is monitored by the AAEC 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.
The following individuals served on the AAEC board during the 2012–2013 program year:

2012–13 Highlights
NEW FULBRIGHT AWARDS FOR
US SCHOLARS AT GRAZ TECHNICAL
UNIVERSITY AND FH CAMPUS VIENNA
The AAEC was pleased to establish a new
jointly sponsored US Fulbright scholar award
with the Technical University of Graz in
December 2012. The Fulbright-TU Graz grant
will be awarded for the first time in the
2013–14 program cycle, and it has been
conceived to enhance Austrian-US collaborative efforts in the TU Graz’s core fields of
interest: advanced materials science; human
and biotechnology; information, communication, and computing; mobility and production;
and sustainable systems. In April 2013, the
Austrian Fulbright Commission also concluded
Prof. Horst Bischof (Vice Rector, TU Graz), Prof. Harald Kainz (Rektor,
TU Graz), Dr. Lonnie Johnson (Executive Director, AAEC), Mag. Sabine
Prem (Head International Office, TU Graz), Prof. Hofmann-Wellenhof
(Vice Rector, TU Graz) at the signing of the collaborative agreement
establishing a Fulbright-TU Graz Visiting Professorship.
a collaborative agreement with the University
of Applied Sciences FH Campus Vienna that
established a new Fulbright visiting professorship that will be anchored in the FH Campus
Vienna’s life sciences department during its
inaugural year of 2014–15.
These new awards extend the series of new
collaborative agreements the AAEC has
concluded in recent years, including jointly
sponsored awards with IMC Fachhochschule
Krems, FH JOANNEUM, Graz, FH Salzburg,
and MCI Innsbruck, increasing not only the
diversity of host institutions, but also the
10
geographic distribution of US Fulbright professors in Austria.
Jointly sponsored awards of this nature
provide for flexible, one-semester stays that
allow host institutions and visiting US Fulbright
professors to articulate detailed teaching
and research program proposals together.
These new awards bring the total number of
collaborative agreements the AAEC has with
Austrian institutions of higher education,
research, and culture up to the record level
of 22.
INAUGURAL FULBRIGHT-BOTSTIBER
SCHOLAR AWARDS TO AUSTRIA AND THE US
In July 2011, the Austrian-American Educational Commission was pleased to receive a
$120,000 award from the Dietrich W. Botstiber
Foundation (PA) to fund two one-semester
Fulbright-Botstiber Visiting Professors of
Austrian-American Studies for three years
starting with the 2012–13 academic year: one
for Austrian scholars to be hosted by institutions in the US and one for US scholars to be
hosted by institutions in Austria. The Fulbright-Botstiber awards function in a mirror
reverse manner. Grant proposals require the
collaboration of potential Fulbright-Botstiber
scholars from Austria with a potential American host faculty, who is responsible for effectively anchoring visiting Fulbright-Botstiber
scholars in the curriculum, host department,
and other activities of a host institution in the
United States. The roles are reversed for US
scholars interested in being hosted by Austrian
institutions.
During the 2012/13 program year, the University of Vermont hosted Prof. Primus Kucher
as the initial Austrian recipient of the Fulbright-Botstiber award to the US. At UVM, he
taught a seminar in Austrian literature and
conducted research on the reception of
American modernism in Austria and Austrian
modernism in the US during the interwar
period. In the same year, Prof. Katherine
Baber (Music/University of the Redlands) was
the first US grantee to Austria. She taught a
seminar on US conductor and composer
Leonard Bernstein at the University of Vienna
and a survey course on American Music at the
University of Music and Performing Arts in
Vienna in addition to doing archival research
on Bernstein’s association with Vienna.
town of Sopron; and a visit to the Esterhazy
Palace in Fertöd.
AUSTRIAN AND HUNGARIAN FULBRIGHT
GRANTEES’ BORDER ENCOUNTER
One of the most memorable grantee enrichment events of the 2012–13 academic year
was co-organized with the Hungarian Fulbright Commission. On October 12, 2012,
US Fulbright grantees from Austria and Hungary met at the Austro-Hungarian frontier,
where a temporary border crossing had been
established to let local Austrian and Hungarian “neighbors” visit each other under the auspices of the so-called Pan-Europa Picnic on
August 19, 1989. At this noteworthy event, a
contingent of around 300 East German citizens who wanted to emigrate to the Federal

INCOMING AND HOMECOMING
FULBRIGHTERS
Ambassador William C. Eacho III and his
wife, Donna, hosted an annual highlight of
the Fulbright calendar at the Ambassador’s
residence on November 28 and welcomed the
new group of incoming US Fulbright grantees;
the “homecoming” group of Austrian Fulbright
students, teaching assistants, and scholars,
who had recently completed their stays in the
US; and representatives of a wide variety of
institutions that support the Fulbright Program
in Austria.

and the Hungarian and Austrian border personnel did nothing to stop them, creating a
temporary “breach” in the Iron Curtain.
The two-day trip also included a series of
cultural highlights for Austrian Fulbright Commission grantees including a tour of Haydn’s
birthplace in Rohrau; a visit to the Austrian
Jewish Museum’s Wertheimer Synagogue in
Eisenstadt, one of the few synagogues in the
German-speaking world that did not fall victim
to the so-called Reichskristallnacht in November
1938; a guided tour through the Hungarian

different sessions experts from a wide range
of institutions involved in educational exchange with the United States discussed
opportunities ranging from high school exchange to Ph.D. programs and covering
multiple opportunities students have to participate in exchange programs or apply for
scholarships, including Fulbright. This event
was such a success the Austrian Fulbright
Commission took this idea on the road during
the 2013–14 program year and organized similar panels in Graz, Klagenfurt, Linz, Salzburg, and Innsbruck.

EXCHANGE FAIR:
FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO PH.D.
Providing information on educational opportunities in the United States is a central part
of the Austrian Fulbright Commission’s work.
In addition to regularly participating in educational fairs all over Austria in 2012–13, the
Fulbright Commission organized a comprehensive overview of educational opportunities
in the US at the Amerika Haus in Vienna with
the support of the Public Affairs Section of the
US Embassy on November 14, 2012. In eight

(AIT, ASCINA) and Prof. em. Maria-Regina Kecht (Academic
Director, Webster University), both alums of the Fulbright
Program, joined Dr. Johnson for a discussion of the main
differences between doctoral programs in Europe and the
USA.
FULBRIGHT SEMINAR IN AMERICAN
STUDIES
The annual Fulbright Seminar in American
Studies has been held in the Altenmarkt in the
Pongau region of Salzburg for more than 25
years. Over 70 participants — current US Fulbright grantees (students and scholars), Austrian Fulbright program candidates (students
and FLTAs) for the following year, as well as
Austrian students interested in American
studies — participated in this three-day event,
April 4–6. The seminar covered a wide variety
of topics, ranging from the American Civil War
and the dynamics of intercultural marriages to
the blues in Leonard Bernstein’s music and
the reception of the Eurovision song contest
in the United States.

The Fulbright Austrian Student Program
The Fulbright Student Program gives Austrian
students who have already completed a
bachelor’s degree the opportunity to attend a
master’s program in the United States. After
being chosen by a binational, expert selection
committee (in this cohort’s case, in June
2011), candidates benefit from the expertise
of both the Austrian Fulbright Commission
and the Institute of International Education
(IIE), the New York-based partner institution
responsible for handling the application and
placement process of international Fulbright
students at universities in the US. Aside from
a generous $25,000 grant and the possibility
of additional funding from US institutions,
Fulbright grantees enjoy other unique opportunities, including participation in enrichment
seminars in different cities in the US before
and during their grant periods that provide
them with valuable opportunities to network
with their international peers in the Fulbright
community. During the academic year 2012–13,
ten Austrian Fulbright students of development, economics, engineering, journalism, law,
public policy, and political science enrolled in
nine different US graduate programs.

“The exchange that happened within my Fulbright
year was vast, exciting and influential. I would never
have thought that I could be of such value to people
who wanted to learn German and find out more
about Austrian culture. Neither would I have thought
that I could learn so much from the ups and downs
that guided me through my intense stay in Illinois.”

stipend, housing, and a tuition waiver for two
courses per semester. Austrian FLTAs engage
in a wide variety of teaching and learning
communities on campus, ranging from traditional classroom instruction to the coordination of extracurricular activities and the
management of “German houses.” The Institute
of International Education not only provides
FLTAs from all over the world with a gateway
seminar before they report to their respective
campuses to teach; it organizes a mid-year
seminar in Washington, DC that brings everyone back together to reconnect and share
their experiences.

The Fulbright Austrian Scholar Program
The Austrian Fulbright Scholar Program
offers Austrian scholars and professionals
the opportunity to teach and conduct research
in the US and is specifically geared to meet
the needs of mid-career academics, scholars
and scientists investigating issues of bilateral
relevance, and individuals interested in establishing or enhancing partnerships with US
institutions. In addition to individual grants
ranging from three to four months, the
Austrian Fulbright Scholar Program includes
two opportunities that focus on Austrian and
Austrian-American studies. The Fulbright-University of Minnesota Visiting Professorship has
been co-funded by the College of Liberal Arts
and co-hosted by the Center for Austrian
Studies since the 2002–03 academic year and
“floats” from department-to-department within
the College of Liberal Arts every year. Furthermore, the University of Vermont hosted the
inaugural Fulbright-Botstiber Visiting Professor
of Austrian-American Studies this year.

“In any case I will encourage students and colleagues
to participate in international exchange activities and
programs like the Fulbright Program. Regarding my
own teaching experience, I only can repeat that it
was wonderful. Staying at a highly renowned University, like the University of Vermont in general,
finding there an excellent department that provided
everything I needed and offered the opportunity
to discuss my research projects with various faculty
members and also to comment on those of
colleagues.”

city — museums, theater, music (classic and jazz),
movie theaters and lots of bars and good restaurants! … In general, I found the diversity and multiculturalism of American society (at least in the big
cities) its most interesting and appealing feature.
After this semester I can certainly imagine spending
more time in the US (something I never considered
before).”

The Fulbright US Student Program
The 2012–13 cohort of 15 US Fulbright students in Austria came from 15 different institutions; included PhD candidates, graduate
students and recent undergraduates; and consisted of not only the traditional contingent of
historians, political scientists, musicians, and
musicologists, but was also augmented by
students of biology, chemistry, education,
film, public education, and linguistics. Some
grantees had awards that facilitated full-time
research and study, whereas others taught
part-time as English language teaching assistants in Austrian secondary schools in Vienna,

“Through Fulbright, and specifically through my English teaching assistantship, I discovered my desire
to make teaching my career. Although I had always
enjoyed working with youth, I had never considered
becoming a teacher until this year, when I was able
to gain reams of classroom experience in a supportive environment, with a mentor teacher ready to
step in if things went awry. I discovered that I loved
the process of planning skills‐based, interactive
lessons, and of strategizing ways to make even the
driest topics seem interesting and relevant for my
students. I was energized by the unpredictability of
the classroom, where even the most well‐laid out
plans diverge in new directions based on the contributions and interests of the students in the room.
When I was at my best, I was leading my students
to new ways of thinking, while at the same time
gaining new perspectives myself based on their unique contributions and thought processes.”

“The Fulbright experience in Austria is fully geared towards facilitating and creating opportunities for interaction and exchange with both individuals and
institutions within my host country. Two key examples
of both personal and professional development which
were a direct result of the experience were teaching
at the University of Vienna and beginning approximately five new film projects, of which three have
been completed.”
Randy Sterling Hunter
US Fulbright Student 2012–13
“The Fulbright experience has facilitated an incredible
period of personal, intellectual, and musical growth.
Personally speaking, I have learned to embrace and
even seek challenges, because it is through challenges
that growth is realized. Many aspects of living and
working in Vienna were intimidating to me at the outset of my time here. Yet, learning to function in a new
society with a completely different language and educational system has enlarged my view of the world
and challenged me in areas that the US culture and
educational system do not. I have learned to look at
my culture from a distance and to evaluate myself and
my culture from a perhaps more objective perspective. Intellectually, I have benefitted from spending
time in one of the world's great cultural capitals. I
have done my best to learn the history of the things
around me and have spent time in many fascinating
museums. I have read the paper and learned about
world events from an Austrian perspective. I have engaged in intellectual and personal discussion with a
number of people from a variety of cultures. I have
encountered people with ideas that I have only read
about in books before and had the opportunity to
listen to them speak. Musically, I can only say that I
have completely changed during this year. It is a bit
difficult to describe musical change in an essay (a wise
person once said that talking about music is like
dancing about architecture). I have benefitted from
countless lessons, master classes, performances,
concerts, operas, and new contacts. I have learned
the focus and personal confidence necessary to be an
artist. I have come to a new starting line in my musical
development, and I cannot wait to begin the new race
this summer.”

“Through Fulbright, I have learned that the fact that
people in different countries live in different ways
does not make one country's way of living wrong or
right and that we can all learn from each other's ways
of life. I've always known that, but living abroad for
a year has left a stronger impression of this idea …”

The Fulbright US Scholar Program
In the past 15 years, the Austrian Fulbright
Commission has concluded a number of fortuitous collaborative agreements with Austrian institutions of higher education, research
centers, museums and cultural venues, and
this has made the US Fulbright scholar program one of the most dynamic parts of the
Austrian-American Fulbright program. Under
the auspices of cost-sharing agreements, Austrian host institutions contributed substantially toward 16 of the 19 awards for US Fulbright scholars in Austria (and in some cases
covered their on-site maintenance grants
completely). This program allows Austrian
host institutions to articulate positions that
reflect their own interests, priorities, and
internationalization strategies, and US Fulbright scholars to bring their expertise to bear
on the needs of host institutions by collaborating with them in the articulation of teaching
and research agendas

they taught over 25 courses, engaged in joint
research activities, and built new institutional
relationships.

“As mentioned earlier, I have learned so much and
had such a wonderful experience overall that it has
transformed my life both professionally and personally. The most compelling impact was interacting
with Austrians and understanding their view of the
world. I have lived in New York and L.A., but I
have experienced more art and music here than
the rest of my life put together. It was just so
accessible. I felt elevated to a higher experience
of life from my intensive interaction with the art
and music of Vienna.”

“To live in a city with many music students means
ongoing opportunities for concerts, true of both
Salzburg and Tallahassee. Salzburg differs, however,
in promoting music as a central feature of its
tourism agenda. Yes, Sound of Music tours abound,
but that aside, Mozart’s birthplace teems with
foreigners who walk his haunts day in and day out.”

The US Foreign Language Teaching Assistantship Program
Since 1962, the Austrian Fulbright Commission has facilitated the placement of 2,805 US
college and university graduates in the Austrian
Ministry of Education’s and Women’s Affairs
(BMBF) Anglophone Teaching Assistantship
Program.
The Austrian Fulbright Commission is responsible for advertising this opportunity,
which has attracted 300–400 applicants
annually in recent years, prescreening candidates for the Ministry of Education for placement, and following up with candidates once
they have been assigned to teaching positions
in communities large and small in all nine
Austrian provinces. The Austrian Fulbright
Commission advises US teaching assistants
on a wide variety of issues before and after
their arrival in Austria, including applications
for residency permits, finding housing, and
identifying teaching resources on site.
During the 2012/13 academic year, 143 US
teaching assistants were assigned to teach 13
classes per week, most at two different
schools in the same area (see map below).
Therefore, during any given week they were
present in well over 200 schools and 1,600
classrooms where they had contact with an
estimated 40,000 students. This program
constitutes a major contribution to the cultural
exchange between the US and Austria. It gives
Austrian teachers and pupils an opportunity to
have an American native English speaker as a
linguistic model and a source of information
about the United States in the classroom, and
it provides a diverse group of US teaching
assistants with the opportunity to immerse
themselves in Austrian culture. Their activities
as “linguistic and cultural diplomats” extend
well beyond the classroom setting.

“I believe that I have had many opportunities to
dispel stereotypes about Americans. When we are
discussing current events or debating the differing
views of certain groups or individuals, I think that I
have been able to impact the way the students see

understand they mustn't judge others so quickly.“

encouraging students to not only speak English, but
also attempt to use the language skills they have

lessons require students to use critical thinking as
well as the English language. They are not just learning English, but also learn to think critically about
certain issues/topics in another language.”

Educational Advising, Outreach, and Public Information
The Austrian Fulbright Commission has
handled educational advising in Austria as part
of Fulbright’s “broad mandate” to promote
mutual understanding since its inception in 1951
and serves as a clearing house for US queries
about educational opportunities in Austria as
well as Austrian queries on educational opportunities in the US. The Austrian Fulbright
Commission is a part of EducationUSA, a US
Department of State-supported network of
hundreds of advising centers around the
world devoted to providing international
students with accurate, comprehensive, and
current information about how to apply to US
colleges and universities. The Austrian Fulbright
Commission’s EducationUSA adviser advises
students via phone, email or in-person about
24
their unique academic situations, and is the
contact point for US university representatives
interested in learning more about higher
education in Austria.
The Austrian Fulbright Commission participates in a broad range of outreach activities in
order to inform students about opportunities
in Austria and the US, with or without the
Fulbright program, and had over 10,200
direct contacts with students in 2012–13 at
fairs, information sessions, and other outreach
events. The AAEC also relies heavily on virtual
advising, and had over 86,500 unique visitors
to its website and 5,734 social media contacts
in 2012–13.
Appendix
THE FULBRIGHT PROGRAM: IN BRIEF
The Fulbright program is named after J.
William Fulbright (1905–1995), the US Senator
from Arkansas (D, 1945–75) who had the
distinction of being the longest-serving chair
of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Fulbright, a graduate of the University
of Arkansas, received a Rhodes Scholarship
that allowed him to study at Oxford University
(1924–28) which proved to be a transformative experience for him. After World War II,
Senator Fulbright was also motivated to establish the educational exchange program that
came to bear his name by his insight that the
creation of nuclear weapons had fundamentally changed the nature of international relations and made the potential consequences of
international conflict graver and more global.
In his book The Arrogance of Power (1966),
Fulbright observed: “The development of some
perspective about man and his needs in different national environments is the principal
purpose of such educational and cultural
exchanges as the Fulbright Program. No part
of our foreign policy does more to make international relations human relations and to
encourage attitudes of personal empathy, the
rare and wonderful ability to perceive the
world as others see it. Thus conceived, educational exchange is not a propaganda program designed to ‘improve the image’ of the
United States, ... but a program for the
cultivation of perceptions and perspectives
that transcend national boundaries. To put it
another way, far from being a means of
gaining some national advantage in the traditional game of international relations, international education purports to change the
nature of the game, to civilize and humanize
it in the nuclear age.”
The Fulbright Program was initially based
on legislation proposed and sponsored by
Senator Fulbright in 1946. This legislation
authorized the Secretary of State to use proceeds from the sale of surplus war property
outside the United States after World War II
to finance exchanges of students, teachers,
and professors and to establish “Fulbright
commissions” in selected countries all over
the world responsible for managing these
exchanges. After these funds were exhausted,
the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, which consolidated various pieces of previous legislation
pertaining the educational exchange programs
funded by the US government, provided a
new basis for the program to promote
Part of the first class of Austrian Fulbright grantees on the S.S. Constitution, Genoa, September 1951

“mutual understanding between the people of
the United States and the people of other
countries by means of educational and cultural
exchange.” This act broadened the scope of
the Fulbright Program, gave it new flexibility,
provided for annual funding as a line item in
the federal budget, and also gave partner
governments an opportunity to contribute
toward the costs of the program.
The Fulbright program in Austria began in
June 1950 when the Austrian and US governments signed the first of three Fulbright
agreements. The first exchanges under the
auspices of the US Educational Commission in
Austria took place during the 1951–52 academic year. After the Fulbright-Hays Act in 1961,
a new agreement between the Republic of
Austria and the United States of America in
1963 established the Austrian-American Edu-
26
cational Commission (AAEC), best known as
the Austrian Fulbright Commission.
The Fulbright Program currently facilitates
the exchange of students and scholars
between the United States and 155 countries.
Since its inception in 1946, over 325,000
students, teachers, and scholars have participated in the Fulbright Program with two-thirds
of the grantees as Fulbrighters in the US. Over
2,300 US citizens and 3,500 Austrian citizens
are alumni of the Austrian-American program.
Approximately 7,000 Fulbright grants are
awarded annually on a global basis. Between
60 and 70 of these awards are managed by
the Austrian Fulbright Commission.

Program consult:

FUNDING THE FULBRIGHT PROGRAM
IN AUSTRIA
The Austrian Fulbright Commission receives
monies from the US government and Austrian
federal ministries as well as a wide variety of
partner institutions in Austria and the US to
fund the programs it manages. Fulbright
grantees and participants in the US Teaching
Assistant Program also receive substantial
amounts of support in the form of direct
payments or in-kind contributions from an
equally wide variety of institutions and organizations in Austria and the US, which are
brokered by the Austrian Fulbright Commission as part of Fulbright awards or disbursed
to US teaching assistants under the auspices
of their assignments.
The total value of all programs managed by
the Austrian Fulbright Commission (34) is
€3,117,026 ($4,217,897). The total cost of all
program administration (18) as well as grant
enhancement, advising, outreach, and public
information activities (19) is 14% of the value
of all programs managed.
Core contributions by the US government
(1) and Austrian Ministry for Science and
Research (2) as well as the Austrian Ministry
of Education (5) are predominantly used to
cover the costs of program administration, grant
enhancement, and outreach (18, 19) and to
fund or co-fund individual awards. The great
majority of funding for Austrian Fulbright Student awards and US Fulbright Scholar awards
comes from earmarked contributions by the
Austrian Ministry of Science and Research (3)
and from individual institutions (6), respectively.
Grantees in all Fulbright award categories also
benefit substantially from direct or in-kind
contributions from partner and host institutions
in Austria and the US (22–30), and these direct
and in-kind contributions (31) enhance the
total cash value of the Fulbright Program (21)
by over one-third.
The salaries received by US Teaching Assistants under the auspices of the Austrian
Ministry of Education’s Foreign Language
Teaching Assistants Program represent a
substantial amount of the overall value of
programs managed by the Austrian Fulbright
Commission (33).
