The relationships forged and knowledge gained are an invaluable resource for progressing and innovating on return to Ireland. Many of our alumni credit the Fulbright experience with aiding their own career progression significantly.” The Fulbright Scholarships and Awards are presented on an annual basis to Irish students, scholars and professionals to undertake postgraduate study and research at higher education, cultural and related institutions in the United States.
