The Fulbright Program enables (Lebanese) participants to pursue graduate-level studies in the United States (US). Participants also have the unique opportunity to experience life in the US and share their unique culture and traditions with Americans.
Participants are chosen through an open, merit-based competition that considers factors such as leadership potential, academic excellence, and the ability to adapt to life in the US. Once accepted into the Fulbright Program, every Fulbrighter becomes part of a global network of engaged and dedicated Fulbright alumni.
The Fulbright Foreign Student Program is a program of the US Department of State, funded by the US Government, and administered by Amideast in the Middle East and North Africa region.
