Fulbright Scholar Awards are prestigious and competitive fellowships that provide unique opportunities for scholars to teach and conduct research abroad. Fulbright scholars also play a critical role in U.S. public diplomacy, establishing long-term relationships between people and nations. Alumni include 62 Nobel Laureates, 89 Pulitzer Prize winners, 78 MacArthur Fellows and thousands of leaders and world-renowned experts in academia and many other fields across the private, public and non-profit sectors.

Fulbright awards are designed to primarily cover in-country expenses related to specific projects, and the scholars’ home institutions play an important role in supporting award recipients.

Independent research and participant surveys confirm that Fulbright exchange experiences lead to greater international co-publication, continued international exchange and stronger cross-cultural communication skills.
