Abstract: The purpose of Section

(Fulbright-Hays Act) is to promote and 

develop modern foreign language 

training and area studies throughout the

education to American doctoral 

dissertation fellows enabling them to 

conduct overseas research and enhance 

their foreign language proficiency. 

Under the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral

through eligible institutions for an 

institutional grant to support the 

research fellowship. These institutions 

administer the program in cooperation 

with the U.S. Department of Education 

(US/ED) as provided under the authority 

of Sections 102(b)(6) and 104(e)(1) of the 

Mutual Educational and Cultural 

Exchange Act of 1961, 34 CFR part 662,
