Institute of International Education (Fulbright Program)
Fulbright Foreign Student Program
US government fellowship bringing non-US-citizen graduate students and researchers from abroad to study in the United States, administered through each country's own Fulbright Commission or US Embassy.
Who it's for
Non-US-citizens residing in their home country, holding a bachelor's-equivalent degree with a good academic record and qualifying English test scores, applying through their home country's Fulbright Commission or US Embassy — not to be confused with the Fulbright U.S. Student Program (for US citizens studying abroad), already in this database.
What the program requires
Taken from the program's own page — not our paraphrase of it.
- Not a US citizen (dual citizens not eligible)
- Graduate-level study or research
Do you actually qualify?
Checking these criteria against your own situation is what ScholarEngine does. It tells you which requirements you meet, which you don't, and which nobody can decide without reading the fine print.
