The Fulbright Foreign Student Program enables graduate students, young professionals, and artists from abroad to research and study in the United States for one year or longer at U.S. universities or other appropriate institutions.
To participate in the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, the applicant must:
have completed undergraduate education and hold a degree equivalent to a bachelor’s degree.
Application details and grant terms for the Fulbright Program vary by country of citizenship and program. Potential applicants should consult individual country pages for program availability and contact information or see a list of current programs.
Scholarship Requirements
In the 49 countries with a Fulbright Commission, applicants must meet citizenship requirements as defined by the binational agreement. In countries where the program is administered by the U.S. Embassy, applicants must be a citizen, national, or permanent resident qualified to hold a valid passport issued by that country.
Applicants cannot hold citizenship in a partner country and U.S. citizenship/permanent residency. See contact information on the participating country pages for specific eligibility requirements and limits on numbers of awards.

The Fulbright Program’s application process is lengthy and rigorous, and prospective applicants are encouraged to consider carefully their intentions, goals, future plans and prospective projects before applying for a Fulbright grant. The competition for Fulbright Program grants is merit-based. Candidates are selected based on a variety of factors, that may include (but are not limited to):
- academic qualifications,
- project feasibility,
- personal leadership ability,
- available grant funds.
Fulbright operates on a yearly application cycle, which generally (but not in all cases) opens approximately 15 months before the anticipated start of the grant with a deadline approximately 11 or 12 months before the grant’s start date.
Method of Application
Because a variety of cooperating agencies, binational Commissions and U.S. Embassies administer the Fulbright Program in the participating countries, this site neither provides nor accepts applications directly.
