The United States Government established the Fulbright Scholarship in 1946 immediately after World War II to create goodwill between nations by fostering educational and cultural exchange. Named in honor of Senator J. William Fulbright who sponsored the legislation, the Fulbright Scholarship seeks students who propose a year long research project in a foreign nation. The Fulbright program offers four types of grants: Comprehensive (Full), Travel, Teaching, and Business.
Duration of Fellowship: one year
Amount of Fellowship: Determined by the type of Fulbright grant
-
Comprehensive: The grant provides round-trip transportation, books and research stipend, health and accident insurance, language/orientation course (where necessary), living expenses (based on country), tuition (where necessary).
-
Teaching: This grant offers candidates the opportunity to teach English language and conversation in areas of foreign countries where there is a lack of English language instruction. A comprehensive listing of countries that are available can be found on the Fulbright website. These grants vary in amount depending on the country, but are similar to the Comprehensive award.
-
Travel: Only to Germany, Hungary, or Italy as a supplement to a non-IIE grant that does not supply a travel stipend or to supplement a student’s personal study funds. These grants cover round-trip transportation to the country of study, health and accident insurance, and an orientation course (where necessary).
