Fulbright Foreign Student Program

The U.S. government’s flagship exchange programme, funding graduate study and research in the United States for students from many countries.

Overview

What to know

Fulbright supports graduate students, young professionals and artists to study and research in the United States. It is administered country by country, so the fields, levels and terms offered differ between countries.

Who it is for

Applicants generally need a first degree and must be citizens of a participating country. Each country’s commission or U.S. embassy sets its own additional criteria.

Applying

Applications are made through the Fulbright commission or U.S. embassy in the applicant’s own country, each with its own timetable. The official site lists the country pages.

Award values, eligibility thresholds and deadlines are set by Fulbright Program (U.S. Department of State) and change from cycle to cycle. Take the current figures from the official programme pages rather than from any summary, including this one.
