Led by the United States government in partnership with more than 160 countries worldwide,
the Fulbright Program offers international educational and cultural exchange programs for passionate and
accomplished students , scholars , artists, teachers, and professionals of all backgrounds to study, teach, or pursue
important research and professional projects. Approximately 8,000 competitive, merit-based
grants are awarded annually in most academic disciplines and fields of study to students,
faculty, professionals and groups. Grants are available for US citizens to go abroad
and for non-US citizens to come to the United States. Through unique international
educational and cultural exchange programs, Fulbright’s diverse and dynamic network
of scholars, alumni and global partners fosters mutual understanding between the United
States and partner nations, shares knowledge across communities, and improves lives
around the world.
