FOR INDIAN CITIZENS
2018-2019
"The essence of intercultural education is the acquisition
of empathy the ability to see the world as others see it,
and to allow for the possibility that others may see
something we have failed to see"

J. William Fulbright

not perhaps be entirely with us."

USIEF Executive Directors Message

The United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF), the

Fulbright Commission in India, is pleased to announce a new round of
fellowship competitions open to Indian citizens for 2018-2019. In
addition to providing opportunities for personal, academic and
professional growth, Fulbright-Nehru and other exchanges promote
mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and India.

Fulbright-Nehru and other fellowships have, over the years, helped bring people of India and
the United States closer through educational exchanges. Since 1950, USIEF has administered
over 19,000 grants for Indians and the U.S. citizens. USIEF alumni have demonstrated strong
leadership in all walks of life, including agriculture, arts, business, education, environment,
humanities and social sciences, public health, and science and technology.

This e-brochure describes the fellowships, eligibility criteria, and procedures for applying. Once
you find a fellowship of interest, I suggest that you visit the Current Fellows page on USIEF's
website to learn about recent proposals that have been successful. Please view the video Indian
Fulbrighters: Ambassadors of Change on YouTube where alumni share their Fulbright-Nehru
experiences. I also encourage you to talk with Fulbright and other alumni about their experiences
in the United States. USIEF staff can help you get in touch with people in your field who will be
glad to answer questions. When you are ready to apply, you can download the application material
from the USIEF website.

Screening experts and selection committees look for talented individuals whose projects are
important to India and the U.S. and who have the ability to be good cultural ambassadors. The
ideal exchange fellow is one who both contributes important work in his/her field and encourages
Indo-U.S. networking during and after the fellowship.

Please share this e-brochure with those who may be interested. Best wishes to all of you as you
explore these exciting opportunities.

The Fulbright Program
The U.S. Government-funded Fulbright Program was established in 1946, soon
after World War II, under legislation introduced by former Senator J. William
Fulbright. Designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United
States and the people of other countries, the program has grown into one of the largest academic and cultural
exchange programs in the world. The Fulbright Program offers grants to U.S. citizens and nationals of other
countries for teaching, advanced research, graduate study and professional development. Since its inception,
approximately 360,000 scholars have participated in the Fulbright Program. The Fulbright Program awards
approximately 8,000 new grants annually.
The primary sources of funding for the Fulbright Program are annual appropriations made by the U.S.
Congress to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education. In addition, participating
governments, private organizations and host institutions in many countries and in the U.S. contribute financially
through cost-sharing and other forms of support. In the U.S. Department of State, the program for foreign
and U.S. scholars is administered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
https://exchanges.state.gov under policy guidelines established by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship
Board (FSB) https://eca.state.gov/fulbright/about-fulbright/j-william-fulbright-foreign-scholarship-
board-ffsb/ffsb-policies. The Board is a Presidentially-appointed independent body of educational and public
leaders responsible for the final selection of all Fulbright grantees and the formulation of the policies,
procedures, and selection criteria governing the program. Currently, the program operates in 160 countries. It is
administered by binational Fulbright Commissions and Foundations in 49 countries and by U.S. Embassies in
others. Under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State, the Institute of International
Education (IIE) www.iie.org and the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) www.cies.org
also assist in administering the Fulbright Program for students, teachers and professionals worldwide.
Visit https://eca.state.gov/fulbright for more information on the Fulbright Program.

USIEF - The Fulbright Commission in India

The Indo-U.S. agreement on educational exchange, signed by Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru and U.S. Ambassador Loy Henderson on February 2, 1950 in New Delhi, established
the United States Educational Foundation in India to administer the Fulbright Program in
India. On July 4, 2008 the Government of India (GOI) and the U.S. Government (USG)
signed a new agreement to strengthen educational exchanges between the two countries. The
Foundation was renamed as United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) awarding
Fulbright-Nehru Scholarships and Grants. USG and GOI are now equal partners for
implementing Fulbright Program in India. A 10-member Board of Directors, five Americans living in India nominated
by the U.S. Diplomatic Mission and five Indians nominated by the Government of India, governs USIEF.
Since 1950, USIEF has awarded approximately 10,518 Fulbright Fellowships to Indians and Americans. In addition to these
programs sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, USIEF has also administered approximately 8,717 fellowships funded
by the U.S. Department of Education www.ed.gov, the East-West Center www.eastwestcenter.org and other entities.
USIEF's activities may be broadly categorized as follows:
l Administration of Fulbright-Nehru and other fellowships for Indian and American students, faculty, researchers and
professionals.
l Promotion of dialogue among Fulbrighters and their communities as an outgrowth of educational exchange.
l EducationUSA Advising Services for Indian students interested in pursuing higher education in the U.S., and for U.S.
students in India.
l Serving as a resource for fostering linkages between institutions of higher education in the U.S. and India.

 The Fulbright Experience
Indian grantees' experiences in the U.S.
"The Fulbright-Nehru experience has broadened my horizon by empowering me
with knowledge, skills and self-confidence. I got the opportunity to work as a
Congressional fellow on Capitol Hill. The Fellowship has provided me with
professional and development opportunities that would not have been otherwise
possible."
Feby Varghese, 2015 Fulbright-Nehru Master's Fellow
at the American University, Washington, D.C.

My experience as a Fulbright-Nehru doctoral researcher in the United States

helped me to gain a better understanding of the policy making process. I had
the opportunity to interact with stakeholders who were responsible for
formulating energy policy in the aftermath of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil
spill. I have improved my research skills, which will help me to publish
articles in international journals. I made friends with people from other
countries which has helped me become a truly global citizen.
Shreya Upadhyay, 2015 Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral Research Fellow
at the American University, Washington,, D.C.

As a Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral Research fellow at Duke University, I

received training in field sampling and infectious diseases, which helped me to
construct ecological networks, build and interpret epidemiological models, and
gain a deeper understanding of global health from an ecological perspective.
Debapriyo Chakraborty, 2014 Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral Research Fellow
at Duke University, Durham, NC

After returning from the U.S., I have started the process of developing
linkages and partnerships with academic contacts whom I met during my
Fulbright-Nehru grant. For me, it is a beginning of a new journey.
