Most Fulbright grants are fully-funded; benefits include roundtrip transportation to the host country, monthly maintenance for the length of the grant, full or partial tuition (if applicable), accident/sickness coverage, and the cost of mandatory Fulbright orientation and enrichment activities.

Fulbright operates on a yearly application cycle, which generally (but not in all cases) opens approximately 15 months before the anticipated start of the grant with a deadline approximately 11 or 12 months before the grant’s start date.

Note: Fulbright Program grants for U.S. and non-U.S. citizens are not for the principal purpose of attending conferences, completing doctoral dissertations, travel and consultation at multiple institutions, or clinical medical research involving patient contact.
