Austrian Art Alumni Award
In order to ensure Austria's status in the arts and culture, the award aims to support particularly outstanding graduates from the art universities while they start their artist careers. With this objective, the public art universities, in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Science, initiate the “A⁴ - Austrian Art Alumni Award” program, which grants scholarships to six graduates with excellent study background per year, to be awarded across the participating universities. During their funding period, grant holders must implement a relevant art project, which they may realize in Austria or abroad.
Applications are expected to be possible again in 2026.
