The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is meant to increase mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and other countries to provide U.S. students with the opportunity for professional development and international experience. Fulbright facilitates cultural exchange through one-year research, study, or English teaching.
We look forward to working with rising and current seniors, graduate students, and alumni who are interested in applying for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Georgetown students and alumni can access the resources of the Center for Research & Fellowships and list Georgetown University as their affiliation in the Fulbright application!
Eligibility: seniors (at the time of application in fall 2027), graduate students, and alumni. Applicants must be citizens or nationals of the United States of America at the time of the application deadline. Permanent residents are not eligible. It is very important that applicants review closely the general eligibility and ineligibility page for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, as well as country-specific eligibility requirements listed on the landing page for the award type (e.g., English teaching assistant in Brazil) they hope to apply for in the country.
(Please note: If you received a degree from Georgetown University and subsequently enrolled in/graduated from another degree program at a different institution, please find your Fulbright Program Advisor at that institution, which will be your affiliation. You may also apply At Large if that institution does not have an FPA. Further, Fulbright does not allow applicants to apply through institutions from which they did not receive a degree. If you received a certificate, but not a degree, at Georgetown, please apply either At Large or through whatever institution from which you received your most recent degree.)
