Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides funding for study/research projects and English Teaching Assistant Programs outside the U.S. The program operates in more than 140 countries worldwide and awards grants in nearly all fields and disciplines. Each year, approximately 2,500 Americans receive support from the U.S. Student Program.

During their grants, Fulbrighters will meet, work, live with, and learn from the people of the host country.  The program facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction 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, the individual 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.
