Fulbright Programme

The Fulbright programme is aimed at financing academic stays by US citizens in Germany. It offers a range of different funding opportunities for students and graduates from universities and other higher education institutions, for teaching assistants, post-doctoral students, lecturers and researchers from US higher education institutions. Funding modalities and grant amount depend on the individual sponsorship programme. Fulbright grants are generally open to students, graduates, lecturers, researchers and teaching assistants or teacher-training students of almost any academic discipline. The programme provides various types of support including full-time sponsorships, travel grants, monthly stipends, health insurance, and living cost coverage depending on the specific grant type. Students and graduates can deepen their subject-related knowledge during a term at a German host institution. Lecturers and researchers can conduct teaching or research stays, while teacher assistants work as English language teaching assistants at German schools.
