Fulbright Opportunities for U.S. Students

Considering the Fulbright Program as an undergrad? We have the support systems in place to walk you through the application, every step of the way.

Explore the Possibilities:

All Maryland undergraduate and graduate students who want to apply to one of the Fulbright Student award programs MUST contact the Maryland National Scholarships Office (NSO), which handles advising alongside our campus representative. Applications to the U.S. Student Program MUST be submitted through NSO and are due by September 1. NSO recommends contacting them as far ahead as possible--ideally, by the end of the spring semester before your application is due--in order to produce an optimal proposal.
