How to Apply for Fulbright Foreign Scholarship

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for a grant;

• Applicants must be citizens or nationals of Nigeria, or permanent residents holding a valid passport issued by the government of Nigeria.
• Applicants must be DOCTORAL OR PHD students who have completed a significant amount of their doctoral program in Nigerian universities and have the endorsement of their home institution.

Note: MASTERS and First-Degree applicants are NOT qualified to apply for this program.

• Applicants must have an outstanding academic record and high level of English proficiency.
• Applicants must take their first TOEFL exam by May 2021.
• Applicants must meet the minimum score on required standardized tests (TOEFL: a score of 90)
• Applicants must have high motivation and a serious commitment to completing the program as scheduled and to returning home.
• Only applicants with strong proposals, outlining their research objectives, methodology, time-frame, and justification for conducting the research in the U.S. will be short-listed for interviews.
• Preference will be given to applicants who have not studied in the U.S.
  Those in business, law and accounting should understand that most U.S. institutions rarely accept research students in these fields due to high demand for full-time programs and tuition concerns.
• Therefore, we face great challenges in finding placements for such grantees unless their proposals are tilted toward economics, development-related areas, democracy, human rights and conflict resolution.

Benefits of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship

• The grant covers the grantee’s round-trip airfare to the U.S., a settling-in allowance, monthly stipend, housing allowance, books-and-supplies allowance, and computer allowance.
• The grant also covers basic university health insurance as a primary insurance coverage and the Fulbright ASPE health benefit as secondary coverage.
