Fulbright is the flagship international exchange of the United States government, funding graduate study and research for students and young professionals from more than 155 countries with tuition, living support, and travel. Each country runs its own competition with its own deadline, so applicants should check the page for their home country; in Nigeria, for example, the 2027 cycle closed in June 2026 while other countries remain open.
Citizens of participating countries holding a strong first degree, with selection and deadlines managed by Fulbright commissions and United States embassies
