The Fulbright U.S. Student Program
is funded by the US Department of State and offers opportunities in
research/arts/study/service/teaching English abroad for 8-10 months after
completion of a bachelor’s degree. Applicants design their own projects
and typically work with mentors at foreign universities. English Teaching
Assistants are placed in schools with local English teachers. The
Fulbright US Student program provides full funding that includes round-trip
airfare; language or orientation courses, tuition, in some cases; a living
stipend for the academic year, and supplemental health and accident insurance.
While excellence in the field of study and a strong academic record are
preconditions for this fellowship, candidates are also selected using the following
criteria: project feasibility, language qualifications (determined by country),
knowledge of the host country, and characteristics that make for a good
ambassador. **U.S. citizenship is required to apply
