Incoming Fulbrighters
Immigration Services at UGA are here to support incoming Fulbrighters.
The University of Georgia is proud to be a top producer of Fulbright Scholars and host International Fulbrighters each year. The Fulbright Program, the United States government’s flagship program of international educational and cultural exchange, offers passionate and accomplished students and scholars in more than 160 countries the opportunity to study, teach, conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to mutual understanding.
Interested undergraduate applicants can schedule a meeting with UGA’s on-campus Fulbright U.S. Student Program adviser.

Schedule a meeting with UGA’s on-campus Fulbright U.S. Student Program adviser, Maria de Rocher, assistant dean and director of student engagement and programming, at derocher@uga.edu. She can help you decide whether to apply, discuss proposals, and assist in the development of application essays. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact her as early as possible, preferably before the spring term ends for grants due in the fall. Due to the highly selective nature of the Fulbright competition, applicants need to start their applications early.
UGA faculty and administrators, as well as early career post-docs, interested in the Fulbright Scholars Program should contact Kike Ehigiator, Office of Global Engagement, at Kike.Ehigiator1@uga.edu.
Incoming Fulbrighters work with Immigration Services throughout their time at UGA.
