Subject field(s)
  • Scholarships and Research Grants
DEF

A student, teacher, researcher, or other specialist ... who has been awarded a ... financial grant [from the Fulbright Program] for study, teaching, or research and travel in other countries.

OBS

Because the Fulbright Program is a scholarship program, any participant may refer to himself or herself as a "Fulbright scholar," even if that participant did not receive a Fulbright Scholar Program grant. [However,] "Fulbrighter," or a more specific grant category (e.g., "Fulbright U.S. Student," "Fulbright Visiting Scholar," "Fulbright U.S. teacher," etc.), is the preferred terminology.

French

Domaine(s)
