Overview

The International Fulbright Science and Technology award is for Undergraduate degree (Bachelors) or Graduate degree (Masters) holders who want to pursue Ph.D. studies at top U.S. institutions in science, technology, or engineering for academic year 2011-2012.

The U.S. remains the premier destination for serious scientific study and research, and America not only welcomes top notch talent, we encourage future leaders to shape their careers through U.S. study.

Eligible fields include: aeronautics and aeronautics and astronomic/aeronautical engineering, agriculture (theoretical or research-based focus only), astronomy/planetary sciences, biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, computer sciences/engineering, energy, engineering (electrical, chemical, civil, mechanical, ocean, and petroleum), environmental science/engineering, geology/earth and atmospheric sciences, information sciences and systems (engineering focus only), materials science/engineering, mathematics, neuroscience/brain and cognitive sciences, oceanography, public health (theoretical research focus only) and physics. For 2010, agriculture has been included as a new field and while agriculture tends to be a fairly applied field of study, those wishing to pursue theoretical and research-based study in such areas as entomology, plant biology, plant pathology, and soil science are eligible for this Award.
