Fulbright Program
for U.S. Students
Why should you be interested in a Fulbright grant? U.S. Student Fulbright grants fund you to do overseas study/research or to be an English teaching
assistant. To be eligible for these grants, you must:
- be a U.S. citizen at the time of application
- have at least a bachelor's degree by the time the grant starts
- not have a terminal degree in your field (usually a PhD) at the time of application
For more information on Fulbright grants, see: http://us.fulbrightonline.org/home.html.
Plan now to apply for grants for the 2013-2014 academic year (application deadline in summer 2012).
