The Marshall Plan Scholarships 2026–2027 provide funding for research stays between Austria and the United States. The programme supports academically outstanding students in technical, natural sciences, and economic-related fields to undertake funded research stays at partner universities in Austria or the USA, lasting at least three months. Funding is awarded based on research duration with additional bonuses for graduate students and for longer or advanced degrees.

Financial support for research stays, eligibility for collaboration with leading faculty, access to laboratories and networks, and potential research publication after completion.

Applicants must be enrolled at a U.S. university or an Austrian partner university, be studying in technical, natural sciences, or economic-related fields, and secure supervision from both home and host universities.

Identify a host university and supervisor, secure dual supervision, prepare a research proposal and motivation letter, assemble supporting documents, and submit through the home university international office for forwarding to the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation.
