Fulbright Scholars Info Session for 2016-17 Awards: April and May

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and primary and secondary school teaching worldwide.  The Fulbright program was designed as a cultural exchange program to promote global awareness and goodwill by sending U.S. citizens abroad.  The program currently awards approximately 1,800 grants annually in all fields of study, and operates in more than 155 countries worldwide.  Information about the program can be found at:  http://us.fulbrightonline.org/

Fulbright is a great opportunity to expand horizons—the projects can be directly related to academic work (e.g., thesis or dissertation research) or it can simply be a project that interests the student and might be useful to the host country.  Fulbright was designed as a cultural exchange program—to expand global awareness and goodwill by sending U.S. citizens abroad to experience another culture.    There are Fulbright advisors on each campus who will be happy to meet and talk with interested students and alumni.
