The Fulbright Foreign Student Program awards grants to students to conduct Master’s Degree studies at U.S. universities. These studies will be funded for one year, pending: a successful application for a J-1 visa; receipt of medical clearance; successful academic placement at a U.S. institution of higher education by the Institute for International Education (IIE); and availability of funds.
FOR THE APPLICATION PROCESS YOU NEED:
You’ll need to have these items ready before you begin the online application process:
1. A personal statement describing why you want to study in the United States
2. A Field of Study essay describing your academic goals
3. Three people who will submit a letter of recommendation for you. These should be people who can speak to your academic abilities and professional goals.
4. If you have them, your most recent test scores for the TOEFL and/or GRE. If you don’t have these, you can still apply—the Embassy will arrange testing for you if you are selected as one of the final candidates. In this case, please enter any optional date in August 2022.
Tips for the application process:
In using the online application system, you’ll need to first register by creating a username and a password and proceed as prompted by the application. Save your data after completing each page. You will be able to log off and return to your application later if you need to complete it over several sittings. All applicants will be able to send online requests for recommendation letters to their recommenders. Please submit your online application ONLY when all information is complete, and the supplementary documents are obtained. Once you submit your application, you will not have access to it and will not be able to view it. Only online applications will be considered. Please refer
