## About this scholarship

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, is designed for U.S. citizens who are graduating college seniors, recent graduates, or graduate students. The program provides funding to support academic and cultural exchange opportunities abroad. Benefits vary depending on the host country and the specific award, but they generally include a living stipend to help cover room, board, and incidental expenses, as well as accident and sickness health benefits. Some participants may also receive round-trip transportation, orientations, tuition support, or language study programs. Because this is a federally funded international exchange program rather than a traditional domestic financial aid package, it is administered independently of the FAFSA or state-based financial aid applications. However, recipients cannot receive duplicative funding from other sources for the same expenses. For information on application timelines and current dates, applicants should see the official page for current dates.
