The aim of Fulbright State Scholarships is to encourage and profile research relevant to recipients’ home state/ territories; and assist in building international research links between the state and U.S. researchers and institutions. These scholarships offer the opportunity for outstanding researchers to broaden their professional, educational and cultural horizons, then return to share the experience with their local community. These scholarships are supported by state or territory governments, companies, universities, private donors and other stakeholders.

Eligibility:

To be eligible for Fulbright State/Territory Scholarship an applicant must:

• Be living in that state/territory at the time of application, with a commitment to return to the state/territory following their Fulbright program
• Be associated with an institution, organisation or community in that state/territory that will benefit from the proposed Fulbright program
• Clearly outline the benefit of the proposed program of research to a topic or issue relevant to the state/territory in a separate statement within their application

State/territory scholars are selected on their academic and professional merit, the relevance and importance of their research to the home state/territory and the individual’s connection and commitment to the state/territory.
