The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE).  While abroad, Fulbright U.S. students are supported by Fulbright Commissions and/or U.S. Embassies.

Fulbright programs vary by country. Please see Regions and Countries for availability and application information for each region and country.

Fulbright U.S. Student Program
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers fellowships for U.S. graduating college seniors, graduate students, young professionals, and artists to study abroad for one academic year for study and research abroad. In addition, Critical Language Enhancement Awards are available to grantees for study of critical need foreign languages before their grant period. More than 1,500 Americans receive grants to study abroad with either full or partial support from the Fulbright Program.

Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships (ETA) Program
The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships (ETA) Program, an element of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, places U.S. students as English teaching assistants in schools or universities overseas, thus improving foreign students’ English language abilities and knowledge of the United States while increasing their own language skills and knowledge of the host country. ETAs may also pursue individual study/research plans in addition to their teaching responsibilities.
