Fulbrights for Non-US Students
The Fulbright Program supports educational exchanges that strengthen understanding and communication between the United States and over 140 countries. It is an effective and prestigious form of public diplomacy. The Program has enriched the lives of over 225,000 men and women and has brought some of the world’s finest minds to U.S. campuses. It offers insight into U.S. society and values to future leaders from around the world.
More than 1,300 new Foreign Fulbright Fellows enter U.S. academic programs each year. The Institute of International Education arranges academic placement for most Fulbright nominees and supervises all grantees during their stay in the United States.
Foreign students apply for Fulbright Fellowships through the binational Fulbright Commission or U.S. Embassies in their home countries. Contact information for the Fulbright Program Offices around the world can be found here.
