United States Fulbright Student Program 2024

The United States Government has opened applications for the 2024 Fulbright Foreign Student Program. The program is a non-degree research program for current doctoral students sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE). The Fulbright Foreign Student Program awards approximately 4,000 grants annually to foreign students to study for a Master’s or Doctorate degree and conduct research on campuses across the United States.

The U.S. Fulbright Student Program expands perspectives through academic and professional advancement and cross-cultural dialogue.

During their grants, Fulbrighters will meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences.

The program facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks, allowing the grantee to gain an appreciation of others’ viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do things, and the way they think.

Through engagement in the community, individuals will interact with their hosts on a one-to-one basis in an atmosphere of openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom, thereby promoting mutual understanding.
