The Fulbright Student Scholarship Program is back again to provide students with an opportunity to receive a scholarship that covers a maximum of two graduate academic years of study in the United States beginning in August 2016. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. This is a great opportunity for Lebanese students to obtain a Master’s degree from the finest universities of the United States and on a very prestigious academic program. This is a very important opportunity for the Lebanese students and long term Palestinian residents in Lebanon to pursue their graduate studies through a U.S. Government-funded grant that includes roundtrip airfare between Lebanon and the United States, university tuition for two years, books, health insurance, and stipend to cover lodging and living expenses. The deadline to submit the online application and required transcripts, recommendation letters, and TOEFL for the program is Monday May 4, 2015 at 4.30 PM. Interested students may log on to http://lebanon.usembassy.gov/scholarships/fulbrightstudent.html to know more about the eligibility requirements and application instructions. Students who have any questions regarding the program can contact either the U.S. Embassy Public Diplomacy section or Amideast-Beirut.
