  • Dear Fulbrighters: This is a message for all Fulbrighters, in the United States and abroad, about the Fulbright Program and its current status. All participants, including U.S. Students or U.S. Scholars as well as Foreign Students, Visiting Scholars, and Foreign Language Teaching Assistants (FLTAs), have received emails about the current status of the various Fulbright programs. We urge you to read the emails you received carefully for important information, resources, and contact information. At this time, all U.S. (American) Fulbrighters abroad have been notified of the Global Level 4 Health Advisory - Do Not Travel issued by the U.S. Department of State and have been instructed to either return to the United States or prepare to shelter in place indefinitely. All foreign Fulbrighters in the United States may choose to remain on their program or return to their home country. This is an unprecedented time which poses a number of challenges to everyone, and we know you have many questions about your situation. We fully recognize the value of this experience to you both professionally and personally and how much you have contributed to the Fulbright Program’s goals of mutual understanding. For all concerns, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your Fulbright Program administrators at your implementing organization or your binational Fulbright Commission.
  • Note: The below guidance is for Americans currently participating in the U.S. Fulbright Program abroad. Foreign Fulbrighters on programs in the United States as part of the Fulbright Foreign Student and Visiting Scholar Programs should contact their Fulbright Program administrators for guidance. Dear U.S. Fulbrighters: The U.S. Department of State has issued a Global Level 4 Health Advisory - Do Not Travel, which instructs all Americans abroad to either return to the United States or prepare to shelter in place. As a result of this advisory, the Fulbright Program is now suspended for all U.S. participants. We urge all current U.S. Fulbright participants to make arrangements to return to the United States as soon as possible. An email has been sent to program participants which provides detailed information about arranging travel, financial considerations, and things to consider while preparing for your return to the United States. In these unprecedented circumstances, we also recognize that due to conditions in specific countries, including the closing of borders and air space, the lack of available flights, or other safety considerations, not all U.S. Fulbright participants will be able to depart for the United States at this time. If you are unable to leave at this time due to logistical obstacles in your host country, or if you are choosing to remain in your host country due to health concerns at this time, you should contact Fulbright administrators in your host country for guidance. Your Fulbright Commission or IIE will make every effort to assist you, and we ask that all specific questions about your situation be sent to your advisor, as they have the most relevant information for your country and case. Please know that, during these unprecedented circumstances, Fulbright advisors and Fulbright Commission staff are working diligently to provide care and support to each participant.
  • Please see the message above for an additional update from the Fulbright Program.
  • The health and well-being of all exchange participants is our highest priority. Given the rapidly evolving nature of the current situation, @exchangeourworld has authorized a voluntary departure for all U.S. Fulbright participants worldwide, and no new Fulbright exchange programs are currently commencing. All current Fulbrighters, both overseas and in the United States, should follow the instructions of all local health authorities, their host institutions, and Fulbright Program administrators. All questions can be addressed to local Fulbright Commissions or Fulbright implementing organizations. We thank each and every one of you for your commitment to the Fulbright Program and its mission of fostering mutual understanding.
