The Fulbright Programme in Ireland
The Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange (the Fulbright Commission) administers the Fulbright programme between Ireland and the United States of America. The Commission offers annually a limited number of grants at accredited academic institutions in the United States.
Irish citizens applying for awards should be in a position to outline a clearly defined course of study or research at a specified institution and must obtain their own placements in the United States.
Grants are awarded by competition, following an interview in Dublin.
It is a basic condition for the award of grants that on completion of the grant period in the United States, the grantee will return to Ireland. Consequently holders of US immigrant visas (green cards) or applicants for such are not eligible. However, students who are enrolled on a postgraduate programme will normally be permitted to extend their visa to remain in the United States to complete their studies.
