Fulbright Program Grants
Fulbright offers competitive, merit-based grants for Students, Scholars, Teachers, Professionals and Groups. Grants are available for U.S. citizens to go abroad and for foreign (non-U.S.) citizens to come to the U.S.Fulbright grant categories and programs are listed below. Potential applicants should consult individual country pages for program availability and contact information for complete details about applying, eligibility and award benefits, as these details vary by country and program.
Most Fulbright grants are fully-funded; benefits include roundtrip transportation to the host country, monthly maintenance for the length of the grant, full or partial tuition (if applicable), accident/sickness coverage, and the cost of mandatory Fulbright orientation and enrichment activities.
