Question And Answer

Category Name: General Questions
 
Can I apply to study for a degree in the host country?  
 
With a few exceptions, Fulbright grants are for one academic year. If the degree program that you propose is longer, you will need to have other funding for the additional time.  Be aware that some countries explicitly state that degree study is not eligible. In all cases, Fulbright grants can not be applied to study for a medical degree, nor would you be eligible for study beyond the first year (i.e. you are currently enrolled in a degree program at an foreign university and you want to use the grant to fund the second year at the same institution.)
