Fulbright Fellowships for Indian Students
This blog specifically addresses those Indian students who want to study abroad. In this section we have discussed about Fulbright fellowships, one of the most competitive grants available under the well-known Fulbright program. Fulbright program is an international educational exchange program founded in 1946 by J.William Fulbright. This program provides an excellent opportunity for the students of India to fulfill their dream of studying in U.S. The fellowships provided under this program are regarded as one of the most valuable awards. These grants are available for students, professionals, teachers and scientists in almost every discipline. This prestigious program is funded by U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Some additional support also comes from other bodies which exist in U.S. as well as outside the U.S. like corporations, host institutions, foundations and partner governments.

These esteemed grants are available for both U.S. as well as Non-U.S. citizens. The criteria for the award of Fulbright fellowships is based on competitive and academic merit in all respects.
Today, Fulbright program is operated in more than 155 countries all over the world. In India, all Fulbright program activities are managed by United States – India Educational Foundation (USIEF). Apart from giving financial support, USIEF also advises Indian people regarding various opportunities available for higher education in U.S. Several offices are present in India for educational fellowship assistance and guidance with their headquarters in New Delhi and regional offices in Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai respectively.
