What is Fulbright? Fulbright U.S. Student Program participants pursue graduate study, conduct research, or teach English abroad. in one of 140+ countries. During their grants, Fulbrighters will meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences. The program facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks, allowing the grantee to gain an appreciation of others’ viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do things, and the way they think. US citizens and nationals eligible to apply for the Fulbright US Student program beginning in junior spring.
