ONGOING FULBRIGHT SCHOLARSHIP 2025

The Fulbright Scholarship 2025 Program encourages applications from all backgrounds, especially those with disabilities and all countries of human endeavor, to apply. The Fulbright Program for Foreign Students and Foreign Language Teaching Assistants (FLTAs) is administered by binational Fulbright Commissions/Foundations or U.S. Embassies. All Foreign Student and FLTA Program applications are processed by these offices for every applicant.

The Fulbright Foreign Student Program awards approximately 4,000 grants annually to foreign students to study for a Master’s or Doctorate degree and conduct research on campuses across the United States without bothering themselves with living expenses and other Tuition expenses.

Placement Types For The Fulbright Foreign Student Program

Program eligibility, U.S. university admission & placement, and selection procedures vary widely by country. You may find information about the Fulbright Program in your home country, including eligibility requirements and application guidelines by finding your country in the drop-down when you check the Fulbright Scholarship 2025 programme.

Please discuss the U.S. university admission and placement approach with the Fulbright office in your home country.

In the United States, the Institute of International Education (IIE) as well as AMIDEAST administer the Fulbright Foreign Student Program on behalf of the U.S. Department of State.

IIE administers the Foreign Fulbright Program for Africa, Eurasia, Europe, East Asia and Pacific, South and Central Asia, part of the Middle East, and the Western Hemisphere. IIE is the longest running administrative agency and has been administering the program since its inception in 1946. AMIDEAST administers the Fulbright Foreign Student Program for most of the Middle East and North Africa.

There are two placement models for IIE’s Fulbright Foreign Student Program: IIE-Placement & Self-Placement.

IIE-Placement

IIE Placement:  IIE’s Placement service works to secure degree and non-degree opportunities on behalf of Fulbright candidates. Candidates are required to submit their Fulbright application and provide all supporting documents to their respective Fulbright office per established country/award deadlines. The Placement Team will use the information shared in their Fulbright application to apply to institutions on behalf of each candidate.  The Placement Team will manage admission decisions and negotiate funding.  The Placement Team will accept and decline on behalf of candidates once a final placement decision is made.  The Placement Team is the first point of contact to U.S. institutions during this process and candidates are only in touch directly with U.S. institutions on an as needed basis.

Self-Placement

Candidates apply to universities directly and manage their applications with universities directly. Candidates are responsible to submit materials and test scores per each university deadline and application requirements including any associated fees or deposits. IIE is not involved in the application process for self-placed candidates. Candidates secure their own admission, possible university funding and tuition awards independently.

Note  Before: Students cannot apply for programs with clinical requirements such as dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, nursing. Please note that fields of study such as public health and nursing administration are permitted
