Fulbright scholarship application process: Through academic and professional advancement and cross-cultural dialogue, the Fulbright U.S. Student Programme broadens perspectives. Fulbright creates connections in a world that is complex and ever-changing. The Fulbright U.S. Student Programme, in partnership with more than 140 countries worldwide, offers unparalleled opportunities in all academic disciplines to passionate and accomplished college seniors, graduate students, and young professionals of all backgrounds. Participants in the programme pursue graduate education, conduct research, or teach English abroad.
During the duration of their grants, Fulbright recipients will interact with, work alongside, live with, and learn from the people of the host country by sharing daily experiences. The programme facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and during routine tasks, allowing the grantee to acquire an appreciation for the perspectives and beliefs of others, their way of doing things, and their way of thinking. Through community involvement, individuals will interact one-on-one with their hosts in an environment of openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom, thereby fostering mutual understanding.
