The International Fulbright Science and Technology Award is a competition for outstanding Swedish graduate students. The award is designed to be among the most prestigious international scholarships in science and technology. The International Fulbright Science and Technology award is for Ph.D. level study at a top U.S. institution in science, technology, or engineering.

Approximately 15 awards will be given worldwide to candidates who demonstrate unique aptitude and innovation in scientific fields.

Grants are funded for up to three years for this award. After three years, U.S. universities will be expected to cover the remaining expenses toward completion of a Ph.D. The placement of students will be administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE).

Applicants must have completed an undergraduate degree before August 1 prior to departure to the US and be proficient in English with a recent TOEFL score (or equivalent) of 580 or higher.
