Conditions of Eligiblity:

  • United States citizen
  • Ph.D. or equivalent professional/terminal degree
  • College or University teaching experience
  • Foreign language proficiency
  • Sound physical and mental health

In addition, applicants should review the following conditions to confirm eligibility:

  • Previous Fulbright scholar grantees are eligible to apply only if three years will have elapsed between the ending date of one scholar award and the beginning date of the new scholar award. This rule does not apply if the previous grant was for less than two months.
  • Because an objective of the Fulbright Program is to provide an educational exchange experience to those not previously afforded such an opportunity, preference will usually be given to candidates who have not had substantial recent experience in the country to which they are applying. Duty abroad in the Armed Forces of the U.S. is not considered disqualifying.
  • Applicants must disclose any prior conviction or current indictment for commission of a felony. Prior conviction or current indictment may result in disqualification.
  • Employees, spouses or dependent children of the United States Department of State or public and private organizations under contract to the United States Department of State are ineligible to apply for a Fulbright grant until one year after the employee's termination.
