Study in the USA with the Fulbright programme
What is the objective of a Fulbright exchange?
"The experience of living and studying in another country transformed the way I looked at the world and influences my whole life." (J.W.Fulbright, US Senator)
The exchange programme named after the American Senator J. William Fulbright supports academic and cultural dialogue with the U.S.A. The Fulbright Programme is held in high esteem around the world.
The Fulbright Commission assists scholarship recipients apply for studies at professionally selected and accredited American universities. The universities are especially hospitable to Fulbright scholars, opening up new professional and personal prospects. Involvement in the international network of Fulbright scholars facilitates making contacts and friends with scholars from around the world.
