What is a U.S. Student Fulbright Grant?
 

It allows for individually designed study/research or an English Teaching Assistantship.
You can propose a project and/or study plan that will take place during one academic year in a country outside the U.S.

 

It provides support for study/research/teaching in a single country.
(Limited opportunities exist for traveling to more than one country.) You can meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences.

 

It facilitates cultural exchange.
Through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in daily tasks, you can gain an appreciation of others’ viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do things, and the way they think.

 

It promotes mutual understanding.
Through engagement in the community, you can interact with your hosts on a one-to-one basis in an atmosphere of openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom.
