The Fulbright program annually awards more than 600 scholarships for graduate study in over 100 foreign countries. The amount and nature of the award vary according to the country, university, and field of study, but it is usually sufficient to cover all expenses for the nine-month stay. Washington and Lee University has been named one of the top 25 Fulbright-producing liberal arts colleges in the country, and one of only two in the south, according to the Fulbright Program.

A candidate for a Fulbright should have a high scholastic average and at least two years of college work in the language of the country of study. The candidate must submit a detailed statement of purpose for studying abroad, including the reasons for choosing a particular country and course of study.

Completed applications, including research proposal and recommendations, must be submitted to the liaison officer in the first week October, so that they may be evaluated by the Committee on Graduate Fellowships before the Fulbright deadline which usually falls in the third week of October. Application forms may be obtained the preceding May, but interested students should consult with the liaison officer early in Winter term to discuss their plans.
