A mainstay of America’s public-diplomacy efforts, the Fulbright Foreign Student Program brings citizens of other countries to the United States for Master’s degree or Ph.D.
study at U.S. universities or other appropriate institutions. The program has brought
some of the world’s finest minds to U.S. campuses and offers program participants
insight into U.S. society and values.
Many foreign Fulbright grantees are early-career professionals who will return to
take leadership positions in their home countries, often working at universities or
in government service.
More than 1,800 new Foreign Fulbright Fellows enter U.S. academic programs each year.
Foreign students apply for Fulbright Fellowships through the Fulbright Commission/Foundation
or U.S. Embassy in their home countries. The Institute of International Education
(IIE) arranges academic placement for most Fulbright nominees and supervises participants
during their stay in the United States.
