Applicants wishing to enroll in any degree programs or courses at a Polish institution must apply for admission individually.
Tuition The Fulbright Commission will cover the tuition fee for the first year of graduate and/or postgraduate studies.

Fulbright grants are for one academic year, and there is no guarantee that a grant will be renewed for a second year. Third-year renewals are not offered. It is possible to study the history of film at the University of Lodz in a one-year program separate from the film school.
