Master's candidates are not required to have secured affiliation at the time of application but should include some discussion on their ideal top 1-3 institution(s)/degree program(s) in the project statement. Securing admission at an institution is the responsibility of the applicant after the results of their Fulbright application has been announced.
Research candidates must secure affiliation at the time of application and include a letter of invitation from the proposed host with the application.
Affiliation Fees/Tuition
Please note that the waiving of tuition fees is at the discretion of the University and candidates are responsible for negotiating fee waivers directly with the corresponding institutions. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change, and vary with each institution. In the event a waiver is not granted, candidates should be aware that the Fulbright grant does not cover the cost of tuition fees and is for travel and stipend only.

Dependents (spouse and/or children under 18) are eligible on the required visa for entry into Australia.
