Fulbright Preacademic Program
Welcome to the Fulbright Preacademic Program at UC Berkeley,
International and Area Studies!
If you are a Fulbright fellow, please fill out and submit
our pre-registration form.
This program offers limited enrollment. Participation in
the Fulbright Preacademic Program at Berkeley is exclusively
reserved for Fulbright fellows that Institute of International
Education (IIE) has assigned to the UC Berkeley campus.
The Fulbright fellowship fosters international leadership,
understanding and cooperation. The US State Department Bureau
of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Fulbright
Commission offer the Fulbright Preacademic Program to
help prepare future leaders in business, civic and government
for successful graduate and professional school study in
the US. Fellows come together from around the world to deepen
their understanding of US academic culture and society.
The Institute of International
Educational administers the Fulbright Preacademic Program
and provides information and assistance to Fulbright fellows.
Like Institute of International Education and Department
of State, UC Berkeley International
and Area Studies is committed to helping prepare global
leaders who will serve their countries and foster collaboration
between their countries and the United States. With this
in mind, we have developed the Program at Berkeley to encourage
fellows to develop or hone skills that will enable them
to be successful as creative, engaged, and independent students.
The Fulbright Preacademic Program at UC
Berkeley offers Fulbright fellows access to a premier
research university nested in a uniquely cosmopolitan and
multicultural US metropolis. Program seminars and activities
allow fellows to hone their academic research and communication
skills. Because of its commitment to international education
and research, International and Area Studies has a distinguished
record of providing institutional support for more than
6,000 students and scholars from around the world through
its Services for International
Students and Scholars Office (SISS). Hosting the Fulbright
Preacademic Program provides IAS the opportunity to deepen
its commitment to global service by encouraging collaboration
between scholars and students around the world. Visiting
international students and faculty provide the IAS academic
community the opportunity to forge new academic relationships
and friendships. On the UC Berkeley campus, fellows will
have access to over 50 top research libraries and collections.
