The scholarship provides comprehensive support including monthly stipends, partial tuition allowance, round-trip airfare, settling-in allowance, health benefits, and orientation and networking opportunities. Selection is based on achievement relevant to the opportunity, relevance of proposed project to Fulbright ethos and rationale for study/research in the U.S., impact and outcomes of proposed study/research, and ambassadorial skills.
