What is the Fulbright U.S. Student Program?
The Fulbright Program for U.S. Students fosters mutual understanding between nations through one-to-one cultural exchange via one-year post-graduate opportunities for U.S. citizens:
- Research: grantees conduct an independent, year-long research project in a specific country
- Study:grantees engage in a year’s worth of graduate study in a specific country
- English Teaching Assistant (ETA): grantees work as assistant teachers in an English-language classroom in a specific country
Some countries give Fulbright applicants the opportunity to learn local languages (including Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Bangla/Bengali, Mandarin Chinese, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Russian, and Urdu, subject to change) through the Critical Language Enhancement Award, which provides support for intensive language study of three to six months prior to the Fulbright experience.
