The Fulbright Foreign Student Program is now accepting applications for the 2027–2028 academic year. The Fulbright Program offers South African students the opportunity to pursue post-graduate study (master’s and PhD) or research toward a South African PhD, at leading U.S. universities.  This year is especially significant, as 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program’s commitment to fostering mutual understanding through educational exchange. 

Regular virtual information sessions have been scheduled to answer applicants’ questions as per the attached flyer.
