The Fulbright Program is one of the most prestigious international exchange programs in the world with the main objective to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other nations through the sharing of ideas, knowledge, skills, and individual experiences.
Grantees receive awards of between SEK 25 000 and 200 000 from the Fulbright Commission to support the first year of their program in the United States, as well as assistance in applying for admission and for supplementary funding at a selection of their preferred U.S. universities. Fees associated with standardized testing, university applications, and applying for a J-1 exchange visitor visa are also covered by the Fulbright Commission. See our website for additional program details and grant benefits.
