On July 17, 2026, DHS published a final rule establishing a fixed time period of admission and an extension of stay procedure for J exchange visitors. This rule is expected to be effective on September 15, 2026, and will impact several aspects of the J-visa program regulations. Accordingly, updates to our website content are in progress.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's flagship program of highly competitive, merit-based grants for international educational exchange for students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists and artists, founded by U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright in 1946.

The Fulbright grants are awarded to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries for a variety of educational activities, including university lecturing, conducting advanced research, completing graduate study, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools.
