★ Placement of successful candidates is done by the Institute of International Education (IIE). Recommended applicants do not need to apply to U.S. institutions on their own. IIE/Fulbright Program will apply to four different institutions on their behalf, taking into consideration the candidates' competitiveness and desired field of study. If a recommended candidate has previously applied to U.S. institutions and has requested a deferral from the institution, the candidate should notify the U.S. Embassy New Delhi immediately.
- Important notes:
- An applicant can apply for only one Fulbright Master's fellowship category during a competition cycle;
- Plagiarism will lead to automatic disqualification;
- There is no designated slot for each scholarship area;
- Extension and transfer of VISA sponsorship will not be permitted;
- Applications received after the deadline will not be considered; and
- It must be noted that the candidates who get through the selection interview just get nominated for the fellowship. Therefore, the selected candidate must understand that his/her actual enrollment is subject to final confirmation.
- The scholarship is provided under the funding of Fulbright Foreign Students Fellowship Program and all scholarship entitlements are confined to those offered by them.
