This workshop prepares students to apply for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program by covering award opportunities, application components and strategies for developing strong essays and project proposals.
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by US Department of State, is the largest US international exchange program. Its goal is "fostering leadership, learning and empathy between cultures." Each year more than 2,200 students receive a Fulbright US Student Grant to live and study, or work as teaching assistants, in one of more than 140 countries abroad. Fulbright awards are in nearly all fields and disciplines, including the sciences, professional fields, and the creative and performing arts.
