Minimum Requirements for Scholarship

-Possess Nepali citizenship.
-Have at least three years (for men) or two years (for women) of post-bachelor’s degree, full-time, professional work experience in an area directly relevant to the applicant’s chosen field of study as of the application filing deadline for submission of application date (April 10, 2020). This experience must be documented by letters (or attested copies) from employer(s) that verify applicant’s position(s) and years of employment. Even if you worked at several organizations, you are eligible to apply as long as your work experience at those organizations adds up to the minimum work-duration requirement.
-Demonstrate in post-intermediate degrees a minimum aggregate mark of:
-54% for students in non-technical fields (humanities and social sciences)
-62% for students in science and technical fields.
-The minimum requirements for students under the semester system are: 65% in non-technical fields; 75% in technical fields; or a Cumulative GPA of 3.50/4.00 in either field.
-If the grading systems, fields of study or educational systems for the bachelor’s and Master’s level are different (percentage and GPA grades, non-technical and science/technical fields, yearly and semester systems, etc.), the applicant needs to meet the minimum score requirements separately, not in the aggregate.
-Have a high level of competence in speaking, reading and writing English. Eligible applicants will be required to sit for an English test. The test requirement may be waived for those who:
-have a valid CBT TOEFL score of 230 (or iBT TOEFL score of 88, or PBT TOEFL score of 570) or higher, or
-have passed the English language test administered by USEF-Nepal in May 2019
-Possess either a four-year bachelor’s degree; or, if the bachelor’s degree was of fewer than four years duration, then a Master’s degree is also required, such that the total number of years of formal education equals at least 16. Students with a three-year bachelor’s degree who have completed only the first year of a two-year Master’s degree program, and Master’s degree students who have cleared all exams but still need to fulfill other university-mandated degree requirements are ineligible to apply. Similarly, students who have two or more two-year/three-year bachelor’s degree but no Master’s degree are ineligible to apply for the Fulbright program.
-Be in excellent health, as evidenced by a letter from a medical doctor.
-Be eligible for a non-immigrant J-1 U.S.A visa, and not already in possession or in the process of obtaining a U.S.A immigrant visa (“green card”).
