Welcome to the American Australian Association

The American Australian Association is the largest privately funded non-profit organization dedicated to broadening, strengthening and developing ties across the Pacific. For 75 years, our programs have connected our two cultures, guided our people and provided new opportunities for a diverse network of trail blazers.

Business & Innovation

The dynamic economic bond between Australia and the United States comes from the connections we help forge between institutions, business and people. By strengthening these bonds, we provide access to new opportunities.

Graduate Education

Our Education Fund provides scholarship awards of up to US $40,000 to support graduate-level study (Masters, Ph.D. or Post-Doctoral Research) to American and Australians to study in each other's countries respectively.

Veterans

Our Veterans Fund provides scholarship awards of up to US $40,000 to support honorably discharged post-9/11 military veterans, from America and Australia, to pursue undergraduate and graduate-level study in each other's countries respectively.

Arts

Our Arts Fund provides scholarships and grants to support American and Australian emerging or early-career artists to pursue artistic development in each other’s countries.
