Introduction to the Fulbright U.S. Student Program
Monday, April 29, 2024 | 3:30pm - 4:30pm | Virtual - REGISTER HERE
Join CURF's Fulbright Program Advisor (FPA) to learn about opportunities available through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, as well as CURF resources to support applicants. Fulbright Grants fund 8-12 months of international experience to US Citizens in over 140 countries. With a long-standing mission of promoting mutual understanding through educational and cultural exchange, Fulbright opportunities can be categorized into two main grant types. Study/research grants offer the opportunity to carry out your own international research project in any discipline (or in some countries, to pursue a graduate degree). English Teaching Assistantships (ETA) grants place Fulbrighters in classrooms abroad to teach English and share American culture.
