Information Session: Fulbright Overview for Graduate Students

Event Type: Informational

In this session, we will present an overview of the Fulbright U.S. Student Grant Program. We’ll explain the program’s history and mission, eligibility criteria, stipend and benefits, required application components, evaluation criteria, and selection process. We’ll also explain the protocol for the required campus interviews and the one-on-one advising services we offer applicants. 

  • The U.S. Department of State has announced the opening of the 2023-2024 Fulbright U.S. Student Grant Program. To introduce students to the program and help students prepare strong applications, the Graduate College’s Office of External Fellowships will offer a series of workshops and information sessions in April tailored specifically for graduate students.
  • Supporting up to one year of fieldwork, laboratory research, arts training, and English teaching in over 140 countries around the globe, Fulbright grants allow students to add a cross-cultural dimension to their graduate studies and build an international network. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, they can be at any stage of their graduate program, and they can come from any academic discipline. 
  • The Office of External Fellowships will hold each of its sessions twice, and all will take place online.
