Seniors and recent graduates: are you interested in spending a year researching or teaching in a country outside the U.S.? Consider applying for a grant through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program!
Fulbright grants support one year of study, research, creative work, or English teaching in one of approximately 130 foreign countries. Applicants must be U.S. citizens with the majority of their undergraduate education in the U.S.; must meet country-specific language proficiency requirements; must hold bachelor's degree by the beginning of the award. SENIORS, RECENT GRADUATES, and GRADUATE STUDENTS may apply. At least 1300 awards nationwide.
Applicants for 2013-14 Fulbright Grants are encouraged to submit a complete draft application (not including supporting documents) by the U of M priority deadline, August 6, 2012. Draft applications submitted by this date will be reviewed by the Fulbright Program Adviser, who will return the application with comments. To begin writing a draft of your application, go to the Fulbright website, http://us.fulbrightonline.org/, open the "Applicants" menu, and select "Embark Online Application." You can save your work and come back to it at any time.
All U of M applicants must submit the complete online application and all supporting documents by September 5, 2012. Campus interviews will be conducted in late September/early October.
