Fulbright Student Research Guide: Start the application process early

Welcome to the Library's guide to support Fulbright grant applicants. This guide provides an overview of resources and services that may be helpful to you as you prepare your application for Fulbright Study and Research Awards.

Fulbright’s Mission and Management

The Fulbright Program is an international academic exchange program founded in 1946 with an ambitious goal — to increase mutual understanding and support friendly and peaceful relations between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Today, the U.S. government oversees an extensive suite of fellowships and scholarships in partnership with more than 160 countries worldwide.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is administered on the LIU by the LIU Honors College

The next LIU on-campus deadline for online application submission will be in late June 2025. Faculty interviews are scheduled with applicants through mid-February. Full dossiers for successful applicants are then forwarded to the Institute of International Education (IIE) in time for its late August deadline. Undergraduate applicants can arrange individual counseling sessions with LIU's Fulbright advisor, Dr. Gregory Barton at Gregory.barton@liu.edu. Contact the Honors College for an appointment.
