  General Information / Provisions:
To continue its mission of promoting mutual understanding between the people of the United States and Thailand through educational exchange which has been successfully implemented throughout the past five decades, the Thailand-United States Educational Foundation (Fulbright) announces its annual competition for "FULBRIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS" to qualified Thai individuals for study towards the master’s degree in the United States.

Grants are normally for one academic year. Grantees who require more than one year to complete the master's degree are expected to find support from other sources for their study program in the United States beyond the initial year. Renewal of the grants will be considered on a case by case basis.

Grants are intended to cover costs of tuition and fees, books and educational supplies, maintenance allowance, insurance coverage and round-trip international travel expenses from Thailand to the United States. Some of the grants may be combined with tuition waivers or other financial aid from appropriate institutions.

Awards will be offered in a broad variety of fields with the exception of medicine, public health, nursing and allied subjects.

 
Fulbright policy states that "Students already in the United States are normally ineligible to apply." Furthermore, grantees may not commence their studies in the U.S. before grant year starts.
 
ELIGIBILITY
  An applicant must :
1. be a Thai citizen in good health*;
2. have completed all requirements for a bachelor’s degree from a university in Thailand at the time of interview (Applicants with working experience are encouraged to apply.);
3. have at least a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or equivalent on transcript of academic performance;
4. have a paper-based TOEFL score of 550 or above (or at least 213 from a computer-based TOEFL test), taken within 2 years from the date of application.**
5. be in Thailand for the interview.

* Individuals holding U.S. immigrant visas or permanent U.S. resident cards (green cards), or dual (Thai and U.S.) citizenship are not eligible for Fulbright scholarships to Thai citizens.
** For TOEFL examination, please contact the Institute of international Education, Maneeya Center North, 6th Floor , 518/3 Ploenchit Road , Pathumwan , Bangkok 10330 , Tel. 02-652-0653

   
 
  General Information / Provisions:
To continue its mission of promotion mutual understanding between the people of the United States and Thailand through educational exchange, which has been successfully implemented throughout the past five decades, the Thailand-United States Educational Foundation (Fulbright) sets aside a portion of its annual study grants for qualified lecturers from provincial universities for study towards a Master’s or Ph.D. degree in the United States. The objective is to enable recently-established Thai universities in the provinces to develop the capabilities of their faculty for priority programs in certain fields.
 
Up to 5 grants are annually awarded to provincial and open university staff with priority being given to the more recently established institutions.
  Grants are intended to cover the costs of tuition and fees, book and educational supplies, maintenance allowance and insurance coverage or may be combined with tuition waivers or other financial aid from appropriate U.S. institutions. Grants are normally for one academic year, and may be renewed on a case by case basis for up to two additional years where the student's records are satisfactory for further work towards the academic degree specified in the award. Since renewal grants cannot be guaranteed, grantees are strongly encouraged to find support from other sources for their study program in the United States beyond the initial year.

Round-trip international travel to the place of study in the United States is to be provided by the grantee's home university. If the candidate is assigned to a summer English language training program, the home university travel grant will have to cover the cost of travel from port of entry in the United States to the English program and then to the place of academic study.

Specific selection and screening procedures may vary from institutions to institutions, but all should include an announced competition for staff sometime before the end of the academic year in a variety of fields with the exception of medicine, public health, nursing and allied subjects. Qualified candidates nominated by each participating university will be invited to compete in a special competition for this project only, and the top two candidates will be recommended for grants, provided they meet Fulbright standards.
 
Fulbright policy states that "Students already in the United States are normally ineligible to apply." Furthermore, grantees may not commence their studies in the U.S. before the grant year starts.
