Language proficiency requirements for Fulbright vary by host country. Students should review the the specific language proficiency requirements of the proposed host country. Additional information about Foreign Language Evaluations can be found on Fulbright’s website under the Application Components section.
If you have taken a foreign language class at USC, start with the professor who knows you at the highest level for a language evaluation. If you have not taken a language class at USC and need an evaluation, we recommend you reach out to the applicable department below.
Be sure to share Fulbright’s Instructions for Language Evaluators including a sample Foreign Language Evaluation (PDF) before the meeting.
