Grantees plan their own programs.
Projects may include university coursework, independent library or field research, classes in a music conservatory or art school, special projects in the social or life sciences, or a combination. Recent projects have involved business administration in France, entomology in Madagascar, and Chinese theater in Taiwan. The Fulbright Program is supported by an annual appropriation from Congress for several different kinds of grants. The Fulbright Full Grants generally provide round-trip transportation, tuition, books, and living expenses for one academic year. A second kind of award is the Fulbright Travel Grant that provides round-trip transportation to the country where the student will pursue studies, as well as health and accident insurance.
