The Fulbright programme was established after the Second World War to promote the peace process through cultural exchanges between the United States and the other countries in the world. Today, it is the largest international cultural exchange programme of the United States in Italy.

In Italy, the programme operates through the  US-Italy Fulbright Commission and provides scholarships for study, research and  teaching.

Opportunities provided for students by the Fulbright programme include:

• Fulbright Scholarships (Self-Placed) to attend graduate programmes (master’s or Ph.D.) in all fields.
• Scholarships funded by the Commission for summer exchanges in the USA for undergraduates. 

Visit Fulbright Italy for information about requirements, deadlines and the application process.

The destinations in the programme include the top universities in the United States.

All scholarships for the Fulbright programme include expenses for travel to and from the United States and medical insurance funded by the United States government.

The number of scholarships available in the various categories is determined by the Fulbright Commission and can vary annually depending on the availability of funds provided by the contributions of the US and Italian Governments.
