Fulbright US Student Grant

Purpose
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake individually designed study/research projects or teaching in international sites.
Details

Fulbright awardees live, work, and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences.

  • The award includes transportation to the host country, funding for room, board and incidental costs, as well as health insurance
  • Proficiency in the written and spoken language of the host country sufficient to communicate with the people and to carry out the proposed study
  • UCSF students should avoid choosing countries with State Department Warnings, since these placements require special permission from the UCSF administration. (See a global health advisor if you have questions about this. Find the link for the State Department website on this page).
