The following material outlines Fulbright pathways connected to Yale and directs people interested in pursuing Fulbright opportunities to appropriate application and support resources.

OIA’s Role

Yale’s Office of International Affairs (OIA) does not administer student Fulbright applications. Yale students and recent graduates are supported by the Yale Student Fellowships and Funding office.

OIA serves as Yale’s Fulbright Scholar Liaison and can help potential Fulbright U.S. Scholar applicants navigate the application process. Contact us for advice on applications, introductions to previous Yale Fulbright scholars, and review of application materials. Yale departments expecting to host a Fulbright Visiting Scholar may also contact us with administrative questions.
