The Fulbright Program offers South African students the opportunity to pursue postgraduate study or research at leading US universities. This year is especially significant, as 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program’s commitment to fostering mutual understanding through educational exchange.
Regular virtual information sessions have been scheduled by the US Embassy to answer applicants’ questions.
