If you would like to spend a year abroad pursuing academic interests or career goals while being immersed in another country and culture, then the Fulbright program might be for you! The annual competition for Fulbright grants has begun, with applications due at Queens College by early September. The Fulbright offers U.S. students the opportunity to study, research, work in the creative arts or teach English abroad for a year after college. Former Fulbrighters describe their experience as invaluable in furthering their academic careers, establishing life-long connections with new friends and colleagues, and opening doors they’d never thought of.
The program requires high academic achievement, a clearly-articulated and feasible plan for using the grant and a commitment to cross-cultural exchange. For further information, please visit the program’s website (linked above) and contact me or Dr. Ross Wheeler at ross.wheeler@qc.cuny.edu.
