You are cordially invited to our kickoff event, 75 years of Fulbright Austria: Celebrating connections between peoples. In our kickoff event, our focus will be on the founding of Fulbright Austria. Join us for an evening of reconnection and inspiration as we reflect on the impact that Fulbright Austria has had by fostering growth through academic and cultural exchange, creating lasting bonds based on mutual understanding, and building enduring partnerships through transatlantic collaboration. And as we look back at the last 75 years, we'll also take a collective look at what lies ahead for Fulbright Austria and its growing community of bright minds.
Join us at our annual SummerFest as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Fulbright Austria's founding, under the honorary patronage of the Austrian federal president, Alexander Van der Bellen.
To further support Fulbright Austria’s mission, we invite you to contribute in one of three ways:
- Participate in the raffle: Purchase tickets and support the next generation of Fulbrighters!
- Donate a raffle prize: Help make our raffle a success by contributing an item that showcases the talents and generosity of our community. For some inspiration, check out the list of gifts and vouchers generously donated in 2024.
- Make a donation: Your generosity helps sustain scholarships and programs that foster academic and cultural exchange, and they also help us continue our work of connecting generations.
