Annual Fulbright Prize in American Studies 2012
in cooperation with
Austrian Association for American Studies
The Austrian-American Educational Commission (Fulbright Commission) is pleased to announce that it will grant an annual award of € 1.000 for the best thesis in American studies. This award is based on an annual competition managed by the Austrian Association for American Studies. The Fulbright Prize is a means of acknowledging the enduring importance of American Studies and the role of innovative research by young Austrian scholars in contributing to the fulfillment of the Fulbright Program's mandate to promote mutual understanding between the peoples of Austria and the United States of America.

Advisors of students completing a traditional thesis (Magister), a Master's thesis in the new Bologna curricular regime, or a doctoral thesis in relevant disciplines at Austrian universities in the course of the 2011-2012 academic year are encouraged to nominate distinctive work of their students for review.
