USIEF offers a wide range of grants for Indian citizens, fostering opportunities for study, research, teaching, and professional development in the United States. These fellowships are designed to enhance academic and professional expertise, promote cross-cultural exchange, and build lasting relationships between India and the U.S.

The Fulbright-Nehru grants provide exceptional opportunities for Indian students and scholars. Indian students can pursue master’s degrees at U.S. institutions with funding support that covers tuition, living expenses, and other essentials. Ph.D. candidates enrolled at Indian universities can conduct a portion of their research in the U.S., benefiting from advanced resources and mentorship.

For faculty, scientists, artists, and professionals, the Fulbright-Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Fellowships enable engagement in research, teaching, or a combination of both at U.S. institutions. Early-career researchers can also take advantage of postdoctoral fellowships to strengthen their research skills and establish international collaborations.

USIEF also offers professional development programs tailored to young and mid-career professionals, providing them with opportunities for non-degree graduate study and professional experiences that enhance their leadership and technical skills.

In the field of education, teacher development programs are available for schoolteachers, educators, teacher trainers, library media specialists, guidance counselors, curriculum specialists, and special education coordinators. These initiatives focus on enriching subject expertise, improving teaching methodologies, and deepening knowledge about the United States.
