The Fulbright Program, including the Fulbright–Hays Program, is an American scholarship program of competitive, merit-based grants for international educational exchange for students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists and artists, founded by United States Senator J.

William Fulbright in 1946.

Under the Fulbright Program, competitively selected American citizens may become eligible for scholarships to study, conduct research, or exercise their talents abroad; and citizens of other countries may qualify to do the same in the United States of America.

The program was established to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills.

It is one of the most prestigious scholarships in the world.

A graduate school (sometimes shortened as grad school) is a school that awards advanced academic degrees (i.e. master's and doctoral degrees) with the general requirement that students must have earned a previous undergraduate (bachelor's) degree with a high grade point average.

A distinction is typically made between graduate schools (where courses of study vary in the degree to which they provide training for a particular profession) and professional schools, which offer specialized advanced degrees in professional fields such as medicine, nursing, business, engineering, or law.

The distinction between graduate schools and professional schools is not absolute, as various professional schools offer graduate degrees (e.g., some nursing schools offer a master's degree in nursing).

Also, some graduate degrees train students for a specific profession (e.g. an MSc or a PhD in epidemiology trains a person to be an epidemiologist).

An academic term (or simply "term") is a portion of an academic year, the time during which an educational institution holds classes.

The schedules adopted vary widely.

Studying abroad is the act of a student pursuing educational opportunities in a country other than one's own.

This can include primary, secondary and post-secondary students.

The number of students studying abroad represents only about 1% of all students enrolled at institutions of higher education in the United States.

Graduation is getting a diploma or academic degree or the ceremony that is sometimes associated with it, in which students become graduates.

Before the graduation, candidates are referred to as graduands.

The date of graduation is often called graduation day.

The graduation ceremony itself is also called commencement, convocation or invocation.

In the United States and Canada, the term is additionally increasingly being used to refer to the advancement from a primary or secondary school level.
