It is a full-ride award in the truest sense, covering tuition, living expenses, airfare, and insurance for the full duration of the program. The Fulbright Program is the United States government's flagship international educational exchange program, and being selected as a Fulbright Scholar is one of the most competitive and recognized academic distinctions a student from Uzbekistan can achieve.

About the University of Washington and Jackson School

The University of Washington is ranked #25 in the world by Times Higher Education, placing it firmly among the global elite in research and graduate education. The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies is one of the most respected institutions in the United States for the study of international affairs, regional studies, and global policy. Named after the late U.S. Senator Henry M. Jackson, the school has a long history of producing diplomats, policymakers, researchers, and international affairs professionals who go on to shape global institutions.

For a Fulbright Scholar pursuing graduate-level international studies, the Jackson School is an ideal environment, combining rigorous academic training with deep connections to government, think tanks, and multilateral organizations.

What the Fulbright Award Means for Uzbek Students

The Fulbright Program selects scholars based on academic excellence, leadership potential, and the value their work will bring back to their home country. Receiving a Fulbright award is not only a financial achievement but a recognition of a student's broader potential as a future leader in their field.

For students from Uzbekistan considering careers in international relations, diplomacy, public policy, or regional studies, the Fulbright Program is one of the most direct pathways to graduate study at America's top universities, and one of the few scholarships that covers every major cost associated with studying in the United States.

The United States was the most popular destination among Globstudy students in 2026, with 53 applicants and placements at universities including Duke University, Penn State, UIUC, and the University of Washington. Read the full breakdown in our 2026 Student Destinations Report.
