Overview
2012-2013 International Fulbright Science and Technology Award for outstanding foreign students
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2011 worldwide competition for the International Fulbright Science and Technology Award for outstanding foreign students worldwide to participate in the 2011 International Fulbright Science and Technology Program. Grantees will be enrolled for Ph.D. study at top U.S. universities in the fields of science, technology, or engineering for academic year 2012-2013.
The award is designed to be among the most prestigious international scholarships in science and technology. The International Fulbright Science and Technology award is for Ph.D. study at top U.S. institutions in science, technology, or engineering. The program is funded by ECA and aims to convey the message that the U.S. remains the premier destination for serious scientific study and research, and that America not only welcomes top notch talent, we encourage future leaders to shape their careers through U.S. study. Approximately 45 awards will be competed worldwide for candidates who demonstrate unique aptitude and innovation in scientific fields. In order to allow adequate time for both standardized testing and score receipt prior to final U.S. screening-committee review, the deadline for receipt of applications in Washington, D.C. is June 15, 2011.
• BACKGROUND: The Department of State's Edcuational and Cultural Affairs Bureau (ECA) and the Binational Fulbright Commission in Jordan views the International Fulbright Science and Technology Award as reaffirming and maintaining America’s position as the preeminent destination to complete technological and scientific study and research. The Award allows grantees to take part in the most prestigious academic exchange program that ECA supports in the area of science, technology, and STEM-focused fields. It reinforces ECA goals as well as broader State Department objectives which include promoting scientific research that leads to innovation and development while supporting ECA's core mission of fostering mutual understanding between citizens of the U.S. and people from other countries. Winners of 2010 Awards came from 46 countries from all world regions and represent a wide variety of fields in science, technology and engineering, including biology, computer science, mathematics, mechanical engineering, neuroscience, and physics. Thirty-six percent of the winners were women. Recipients were chosen through a rigorous, multi-tiered, merit-based selection process consisting of in-country competition and review, and field and discipline merit review by top-level U.S. academic leaders. Final selection was made by the Presidentially-appointed J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. Award winners are placed top U.S. institutions, including Brown University, California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California at Berkeley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Stanford University.
• PROGRAM DESIGN: The ECA Bureau and the Binational Fulbright Commission in Jordan is now soliciting nominations for candidates to participate in the 2012-13 International Fulbright Science and Technology Program.

All forms in this application are to be completed in English. Items must be answered completely and carefully.
Some helpful “tips”:
• Avoid using all capital letters when answering items, e.g. name, address, etc. It is better to use upper and lower case, e.g. Ron Smith.
• You can copy and paste information into all text boxes.
• In the text boxes, you must limit your responses to the space provided. Information that exceeds the space provided will not display or print. If what you have typed or copied exceeds the size of the box, you must edit it.
• You can review each page of the application in its PDF format by clicking on the Preview button on the upper right-hand corner. Closing out of the PDF view will bring you back to your application.
• You will create essays on pages 4, 5, and 6. On the essay pages, text entered that exceeds the space provided will display and print. However, it is recommended that you try to keep your essays to one page when possible.
