Fulbright Foreign Student Program

The U.S. government's flagship exchange program, funding international graduate students, young professionals, and artists to pursue a Master's or PhD at a U.S. university, or to conduct non-degree research. Covers tuition, airfare, a living stipend, and health insurance for the duration of the program (typically one to two years). Open to citizens of over 160 countries; applicants must apply through the Fulbright Commission or U.S. Embassy in their home country, as eligibility details, prioritized fields, and deadlines vary significantly by country. Most country deadlines fall between February and October each year for programs beginning the following academic year — applicants should check their country-specific Fulbright Commission page for the exact date.
