Fulbright U.S. Student Study/Research Award
Internal Campus Deadline: August 31, 2025
Applicants for independent research awards design their own projects and will typically work with advisers at universities abroad or other institutes of higher education. Applicants seeking degrees apply simultaneously to the Fulbright award and for admission to the host institution abroad.
The study/research awards are available in approximately 140 countries. Program requirements vary by country, so the applicants’ first step is to familiarize themselves with the program summary for the host country.
- Round-trip transportation to the host country
- Funding to cover room, board, and incidental costs, based on the cost of living in the host country
- Pre-departure and/or in-country orientations
