Note for Non-Cypriots
Those not eligible to
apply for our programs due to citizenship should check the
Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State
website to see if Fulbright programs exist in their respective
countries. First, search to see if there is a Fulbright
Commission in your country, and if not, check to see if there is
a US embassy or consulate that may administer grant programs or
may be able to tell you who to contact in your country about
scholarship programs.
Students interested in general information on scholarships through US
institutions directly, or from other sources, may check our
Study in the U.S. link. |
