Advice and guidance to candidates applying to the U.S. Student Fulbright Program are provided. The U.S. Student Fulbright Program offers fellowships to recent bachelor’s graduates, masters and doctoral students, young professionals and artists for study and research abroad. More than 1,500 Americans study abroad with either full or partial support from the Fulbright Program. The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships Program (ETA), an element of the U.S. Student Fulbright Program, is designed to improve foreign students' English language abilities and knowledge of the United States. Participants are placed outside of capital cities in over 30 countries and are fully integrated into the host community, increasing their own language skills and knowledge of the host country. English Teaching Assistants may also pursue individual study/research plans in addition to their teaching responsibilities.
The Fulbright Program In Brief
The flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, widely known as the Fulbright Program, is designed to “increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.” With this goal as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 286,000 participants—chosen for their leadership potential—with the opportunity to observe each others’ political, economic, educational and cultural institutions, to exchange ideas and to embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world.
