Fulbright Foreign Student Program

The Fulbright Program creates connections in a complex and changing world. Led by the United States government in partnership with 160 countries worldwide, Fulbright offers unparalleled international educational and cultural exchange experiences. Our global network of Fulbrighters fosters mutual understanding between the United States and partner nations, advances knowledge across communities, and improves lives around the globe. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by Amideast in the MENA region, the scholarship is a merit-based grant that provides funding for graduate-level study at a U.S. university. For over four decades, Amideast has been placing students from across the MENA region at universities throughout the United States and continues to support them throughout their program and once they become alumni.
