Orientation Programs

Fulbright Gateway Orientations, which focus on academic skills, graduate student life and cross-cultural awareness, are offered to foreign students upon arrival in the United States. More information: http://foreign.fulbrightonline.org/current_gateway.html. 

U.S. students and scholars are invited to pre-departure orientations, often held in Washington, DC, before departing the U.S.

U.S. and Foreign Teachers are invited to an orientation in August, and U.S. teachers are offered an additional spring workshop.

Many Fulbright Commissions and U.S. Embassies host in-country orientations for U.S. Fulbrighters and/or pre-departure orientations for Fulbrighters to the U.S.

Language Preparation
Foreign students may apply to participate in pre-academic programs in order to increase English language proficiency, refine English language skills or prepare for study in a specific discipline such as law or health.
