Bulgarian-American Commission for Educational Exchange (Fulbright Bulgaria)

Fulbright Graduate Student Program for Master's and Doctoral Studies in the USA

The Fulbright Scholarship for Master's or Doctoral studies in the USA provides opportunities for candidates to study at prestigious universities in the United States. The program is available to candidates from all fields of science and arts with the exception of clinical medicine and dentistry. This scholarship is valid for all accredited American universities on US territory. The application for the scholarship precedes the submission of documents to American universities, which is carried out for nominated candidates entirely with the help of the Fulbright Commission and the Institute of International Education (New York). The program provides funding of up to $66,000, supplemented by free health insurance, free round-trip airfare, free J-1 visa, and free vouchers for American standardized tests. Four scholarships are awarded each year depending on available funding. Candidates are selected through an annual competition with a deadline in May, and interviews are conducted in June online.
