Grants available for study and research in Austria

Students and researchers who are interested in a stay in Austria will find a wide variety of scholarships and grants with the Austrian Agency for International Mobility and Cooperating in Education, Science and Research (OeAD). Programs range from broader geographical – and theme- oriented scholarships like the Ernst Mach programme, to more specific programs for individual fields of study (Franz Werfel for students of German language and literature; Richard Plaschka for historians), also including programs with a regional focus. These programs are designed for a worldwide application, except the Ernst Mach Grant for Austrian Universities of Applied Sciences, which is only aimed at non-European countries. All three programmes are funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research (BMWF).
