Upcoming Fulbright U.S. Student Grant Information Sessions!

Are you interested in conducting research, getting a Master’s degree, or teaching English abroad for one academic year?
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is funded by the US Department of State and offers opportunities in research/arts/study/service/teaching English abroad for 8-10 months after completion of a bachelor’s degree.  Applicants design their own projects and typically work with mentors at foreign universities.  English Teaching Assistants are placed in schools with local English teachers.  You choose the country, you choose the type of grant!  The Fulbright US Student program provides full funding that includes round-trip airfare; language or orientation courses, tuition, in some cases; a living stipend for the academic year, and supplemental health and accident insurance. While excellence in the field of study and a strong academic record are preconditions for this fellowship, candidates are also selected using the following criteria: project feasibility, language qualifications (determined by country), knowledge of the host country, and characteristics that make for a good ambassador. **U.S. citizenship is required to apply
USC deadline: September 14, 2015 for the 2016-2017 grant year
