The Fulbright U.S. Student Program 2027-28 national deadline is 6 October 2026 at 5:00pm ET. VERIFY that the Public Policy Fellowship is competed under the Student Program rather than the Fulbright Scholar Program, which runs a different (typically September) deadline — both programs list a 'Public Policy' award and this pass could not disambiguate.
