Fulbright Master's scholarship program
Study in the United States with the Fulbright Master's scholarship program!
The 2026 Fulbright Foreign Student Program application is now open!
The Fulbright Foreign Student Program provides participants from Lebanon the opportunity to pursue graduate-level study or research in the United States.
This is a very important opportunity for students in Lebanon to pursue their graduate studies through a U.S. Government-funded grant that includes:
- roundtrip airfare,
- university tuition for up to two years,
- books,
- health insurance,
- stipend to cover lodging and living expenses…
Eligibility
The requirements to apply for the Fulbright Foreign Student Program are:
- Must be a citizen or permanent resident of Lebanon or holder of the Special Travel Document for Palestinian Refugees.
- Must reside in Lebanon throughout the selection process.
- Must have two years of professional work experience by May 2025 if applying to MBA (Master of Business Administration) programs.
- Must hold a U.S.-equivalent bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution by the program start date.
- Must have a strong academic background.
- Must be proficient in English or able to attend a Long-Term English (LTE) program prior to the start of the academic program.
