Fulbright with Family

Being away from home for months may seem stressful, but Fulbright helps to make the process as easy as possible. This is true for those with families as well. 

Scholars can find support for navigating the process of traveling with dependents. Your host institution can assist you in the practicalities – finding a place to live, identifying school options for your children, integrating into the local community. Many awards include dependent support/benefits within the award. But even if they don’t, be sure to ask about options. You may wish to do this prior to applying – you can always reach out to the institution or that country’s Fulbright commission. Learn more about bringing your family here.
