The Fulbright Study/Research Award is the traditional award opportunity where a candidate designs a proposal for a specific country. Applicants for study/research awards design their own projects and will typically work with advisers at foreign universities or other institutes of higher education.

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program places grantees in classrooms in a country to provide assistance to the local English teachers. ETAs help teach English language while serving as cultural ambassadors for the U.S. The age and academic level of the students varies by country, ranging from kindergarten to university level. The ETA Program welcomes students from all academic backgrounds and is not exclusive to aspiring educators.

The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Program provides 6-12 months of funding for doctoral candidates to immerse themselves in dissertation research abroad. The Program is designed to contribute to the development and improvement of the study of modern foreign languages and area studies in the United States by providing opportunities for scholars to conduct research abroad.

The  Fulbright–National Geographic Storytelling Fellowship is a special add-on program for U.S. Fulbright students; it provides a unique platform for grantees to develop global narratives and discuss commonalities across borders around a common issue or theme. Trained, supported, and mentored by National Geographic Editors during their grants, grantees will use new media platforms to help build ties across cultures while enhancing mutual understanding. The content that they produce will be featured online in various places, including, most prominently, a blog hosted by National Geographic.

The Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowships are offered through a partnership between the Fulbright Program and the Fogarty International Center of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). These awards were established to promote the expansion of research in public health and clinical research in resource-limited settings.

The Fogarty International Center, NIH, will provide support to the research training site and may provide orientation for the fellows at the NIH. In addition, NIH will provide a pre-departure orientation for selected Fellows in Washington, DC.

To participate in the Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowships in Public Health, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen and:

• Be enrolled in graduate or medical school. Applicants who hold a doctorate are ineligible.
• Have sufficient proficiency in the host language to carry out the project required.

Other basic requirements and process for applying for the Fulbright-Fogarty Program are the same as for any Fulbright U.S. Student Study/Research Grant.

The Critical Language Enhancement Award (CLEA) promotes the Fulbright Program's goal of cross-cultural exchange and dialogue through language study. The experience grantees bring home after their CLEA and Fulbright grant will serve them in their chosen careers and throughout their lives.

CLEA provides U.S. Student grantees to typically receive three to six months of intensive language study in their host country as an enhancement to their Fulbright grant. Language instruction providers and duration of individual programs are subject to change and vary by eligible country. CLEA is offered to students once they have been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student grant which requires that they use one of the eligible languages for their Fulbright project and beyond.
