Program Application Details

Application details and grant terms for the Fulbright Program vary by country of citizenship and program.  Potential applicants should consult individual country pages for program availability and contact information or see a list of current programs.

The Fulbright Program’s application process is lengthy and rigorous, and prospective applicants are encouraged to consider carefully their intentions, goals, future plans and prospective projects before applying for a Fulbright grant. The competition for Fulbright Program grants is merit-based. Candidates are selected based on a variety of factors, that may include (but are not limited to):

  • academic qualifications,
  • project feasibility,
  • personal leadership ability,
  • available grant funds.

Fulbright operates on a yearly application cycle, which generally (but not in all cases) opens approximately 15 months before the anticipated start of the grant with a deadline approximately 11 or 12 months before the grant’s start date.

Because a variety of cooperating agencies, binational Commissions and U.S. Embassies administer the Fulbright Program in the participating countries, this site neither provides nor accepts applications directly.
