Fulbright Grants for Foreign (Ecuadorian) Students and Scholars

The selection of Fulbright Scholars in Ecuador is based on a national open competition and academic and professional excellence. Candidates will be considered without respect to ethnicity, religion, national origin, and gender.

Grants are highly competitive. The strict academic criteria used is as demanding as the criteria established by U.S. universities, including sufficient proficiency of English, so that candidates admitted to a post graduate program receive the necessary financial aid. All applicants must have a university degree.

Applications are restricted to Ecuadorian citizens, residing in Ecuador during the complete process. Candidates holding dual Ecuadorian-U.S.citizenship or U.S. permanent resident status are not eligible. Grants are not open to Ecuadorians who are currently studying, researching or teaching in the United States. As the Fulbright Program provides an educational exchange experience to citizens who have not had such opportunity, preference will be given to those candidates who have not had extensive recent experience in the United States.

Opportunity Funding

The program is designed to offer opportunities to talented and deserving foreign students who have extremely limited means and would be otherwise unable to afford the application process to an accredited U.S. higher education institution.
