FulBright Fellowships for Indian Citizens: 2013-2014
USIEF offers a wide range of exchange opportunities to Indian citizens
in three main categories:
Student Awards to pursue a master's degree or attend a US
university as a visiting student researcher,
Scholars and Teacher Awards for academics, teachers and
professionals to teach or conduct research in the US, and
Professional Development Programs for leadership and skill development.
In addition to providing opportunities for personal, academic and
professional growth, Fulbright-Nehru and other exchanges promote
mutual understanding between the people of the US and India.
Fulbright-Nehru and other fellowships have, over the years, helped
bring the people of India and the United States closer through
educational exchanges. USIEF has administered over 17,000 grants for
Indians and US citizens. USIEF alumni have demonstrated strong
leadership in all walks of life, including agriculture, arts,
business, education, environment, humanities and social sciences,
media, public health, and science and technology.
Once you find a fellowship of interest, please visit the Current
Fulbright Fellows page to learn about recent proposals that have been
successful. We also encourage you to talk with Fulbright and other
alumni about their experiences in the United States. USIEF staff and
our Alumni webpage can help you get in touch with people in your field
who will be glad to answer questions. When you are ready to apply, you
can download the application material from the USIEF website. Most
fellowships have a July 16 application deadline.
Screening and selection committees look for talented individuals whose
projects are important to and the US. and who have the ability to be
good cultural ambassadors. The ideal exchange fellow is one who both
contributes important work in his/her field and encourages Indo-US
networking during and after the fellowship.
The Commission selects scholars through a rigorous review process.
Typical grants include a maintenance allowance, roundtrip airfare and
a contribution towards tuition fees where applicable. Fulbright
scholars receive a high level of support ranging from visa processing
and an accident and sickness coverage to a comprehensive pre-departure
orientation session. Student grantees also receive additional US-based
support from the Institute of International Education and scholars
from the Council for the International Exchange of Scholars.
