Student Programs

Students can pursue Comprehensive (Full) Fulbright Grants (http://www.iie.org/fulbright/, which generally provide round-trip transportation; book and research allowances; maintenance for the academic year, based on living costs in the host country; supplemental health and accident insurance; tuition, in some cases; and language or orientation courses, where appropriate. Comprehensive Fulbright grants are payable in local currency or U.S. dollars, depending on the country of assignment. Students can also apply for Fulbright Travel Grants (http://www.iie.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Fulbright_Demo_Site/U_S__Student_Program/Fulbright_Grant_Opportunities/Type_of_Grants.htm). These grants, however, are available only to Germany, Hungary, or Italy. They are available to supplement an award from a non-IIE (Institute of International Education) source that does not provide funds for travel or to supplement a student's own funds for study. Travel grants provide round-trip transportation to the country where the student will pursue studies for an academic year, supplemental health and accident insurance, and the cost of an orientation course abroad, if applicable. Fulbright Teaching Opportunities to teach English language and conversation classes are available in the following countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Korea, Romania, Taiwan and Turkey. Specific grant details and the number of available teaching opportunities vary by country. Please see individual country summaries at the following website http://www.iie.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Fulbright_Demo_Site/U_S__Student_Program/Fulbright_Grant_Opportunities/Individual_Country_Summaries.htm for details.
