Fulbright-National Geographic Award

Fulbright U.S. Student Program

Fulbright U.S. Student Program semi-finalists may apply for the Fulbright-National Geographic Award and propose up to $20,000 in additional grant funds from the National Geographic Society to expand your research and/or help bring your story to life and, if selected, join the National Geographic Explorer community. Proposals undertake an in-depth examination of a globally relevant issue as an add-on to your Fulbright Open Study/Research project. The National Geographic Society’s focus areas are Ocean, Land, Wildlife, Human History & Cultures, and Human Ingenuity, with funding opportunities in the fields of conservation, research, storytelling, education, and technology. National Geographic grantees must be selected for a Fulbright Study/Research Grant by the eligible country for which they applied.
