IIE issued all stipend payments scheduled for distribution through May 1. In some cases, delayed State Department funding disbursements have affected IIE’s ability to disburse payments as scheduled. As IIE receives State Department funding, you will receive your subsequent stipend(s) in accordance with your Fulbright Grant Authorization Document/Terms and Conditions.

We are unable to process International Travel Requests at this time. International Travel comes with risks, even if you have a valid multiple entry visa.
