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.
