Fulbright Scholarships

Ever dream of studying abroad? The US Department of State encourages students and scholars of all abilities to apply for spots in their esteemed Fulbright programs. If you have completed your undergraduate education and are proficient in a foreign language, you can apply to study/teach in practically any country on the globe! The program consists of three sectors: Fulbright Students (for those with a bachelors only), Fulbright Scholars (for those with a PhD or equivalent professional degree), and Fulbright Teachers (for K-12 or post-secondary teachers with a full-time position in the US). Grants are available to teach English, conduct research, gain professional international experience, or pursue graduate degrees on any of the six habitable continents.

For more information on Fulbright Programs in general, visit the U.S. Department of State. For information on the Fulbright program specific to persons with disabilities, visit Mobility International for descriptions of eligibility, success stories, and other exchange program resources.
