- Student Grants
-
The Fulbright Program offers a variety of grant opportunities, including
comprehensive Fulbright grants and
Fulbright travel grants. Additional grants
are available on a country-by-country basis, including opportunities in
teaching and
business. (Note: IIE also conducts, simultaneously
with the competition under the Fulbright Program, the competitions for various
programs supported by foreign governments and private donors.)
There is a single application form for all grants described.
All sections of the application must be completed for all grants. Length of
grants: Most of the grants described will be awarded for programs of study or
research that will require one academic year. However, where sufficient justification
is provided, very advanced doctoral candidates and candidates in the creative
and performing arts may submit requests for grants of not less than six months.
Specific academic qualifications are contained in the
Regional Summaries or
Individual Country Summaries.
