Fulbright Austria is delighted to announce that the Rosemary and David Good Family Foundation has pledged $50,000 over a three-year period to support Fulbright Austria’s programs. Rosemary and David Good believe in the power of the arts, culture, and education to transform lives, so Fulbright Austria will dedicate their generous gift over the next three program years to financing and expanding its collaboration with the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, which cosponsors unique Fulbright-Q21/MuseumsQuartier Artist-in-Residence awards. I will share more about this generous gift and this great opportunity with you below.
