Where it leads

U.S. master's degree (Fulbright funds it; the student is responsible for securing their own university admission separately).

Visa

J-1 Exchange Visitor visa; visa fee waived under the programme.

Things to know

Mongolian citizens living in Mongolia only; 1.5+ yrs work experience; bachelor's degree; green-card holders ineligible.

High confidence on eligibility/funding/process; the specific 2027-2028 deadline date could not be confirmed (page text is internally inconsistent) - verify with the Embassy before quoting a date. No agent/partner mention found. This is a Master's-level award, not for students heading straight from secondary school.
