The program has brought some of the world’s finest minds to U.S. campuses and offers program participants insight into U.S. society and values.

Many foreign Fulbright grantees are early-career professionals who will return to take leadership positions in their home countries, often working at universities or in government service.

Awards approximately 1,800 student grants to non-U.S. nationals to study in the United States annually. Approximately 3,200 new and continuing student fellows are currently in the United States on Fulbright grants

  24. hailemariam hailu says:

    I am Hailemariam Hailu from Ethiopia and I am 26. I have graduated from Hawassa university faculty of veterinary medicine with DVM. Currently I am working at Benchmaji zone agricultural office.

    Agriculture, mainly livestock production, is the mainstay of the Ethiopian economy employing approximately 85% of the total population. Ethiopia has the largest livestock population and the highest draft animal population in the Africa. Despite the huge resource, Ethiopia’s livestock productivity is lower than the Africa’s average. The major constraints contributing to low productivity include low genetic potential of the animals, poor nutrition and the prevailing animal diseases. The main effect of the diseases include mortality, sub optimal production, reduced quality of animal products such as milk and meat, decreased drought power output, and risk of zoonotic diseases to man. One of the strategies haled by the Ethiopian government to reduce these livestock production problems is to increase the number of veterinarians in the country which was surprisingly very few by establishing new veterinary schools. In this zone there is scarcity of well trained and specialize
    d skilled, which is now becoming a serious problem in the zone, For this reason, I am much interested in getting a scholarship in related fields for advanced teaching learning process and to produce well trained and qualified veterinarians who have a potential of solving the countries livestock disease problems.

    Dear Mr./Mrs,

    I would like to offer my academic qualifications as a graduate from the faculty of Computer and Information Science at the respected Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt being one of the best universities in Information and Computer Science in Egypt.

    I am writing with a deep desire to pursue a research position to the Master’s Program to develop my academic career path. I truly believe that my credentials will be of great use in the workplace environment. Due to my academic discipline, I possess a formidable basis of onsite independent learning. With regards to my grades, I passed my bachelor’s degree with distinction and I was ranked first in my honors class. I also have a few professors who have recommended me.

    One of my greatest strength lies in Software Design and Development. Teaching several courses in programming and Data Structure such as Object Oriented Programming, Assembly Language and Information Engineering has granted me the ability to work proficiently with software development using many programming languages such as .Net, Java…

    I would like the chance to hear from you regarding my abilities and qualifications, and to further my capabilities with a research position. Thank you for your time, consideration, and kind assistance.

    Sincerely,
    Hussein Haggag

  31. ABDUL KONNEH says:

    Dear/ Madam,
    I am a 2009 graduate from Fourah Bay College University of Sierra Leone. I studied Mechanical & Maintenance Engineering and currently I am working as an Engineer at the National Power Authority in Sierra Leone.

    Since I started I noticed that the company has incurred huge losses as a result of poor maintenance practices. However this was not a surprise to me because 99% of the operational staffs running the engines are not trained Engineers from the university. Additionally also, the current network of transmission and distribution needs to be completely overhauled. There are several underground and overhead faults in the system as a result of poor maintenance practices and this has led to the poor utilization of the total power output. This has also cost the company lots of money in hiring experts to get the system fixed up. As an Engineer I want to ensure that the running conditions of the Power Plants are not only met but also strict measures taken to observe all maintenance procedures. Alas, I am not fully equipped for this kind of task. In this regard, I would like to pursue a Masters/Doctorate program in Power Engineering in the United States of America to enhance my ability to carryout such a great assignment in my country, Sierra Leone.

    My communication skills are excellent and amidst many other strengths I have very strong computer background. If only I am given this opportunity I will be very much grateful and my country will be forever indebted to the American government.

    I am looking forward to hearing from you soon with regards my qualification and abilities
