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.
