Fulbright Graduate Student Fellowships

A Fulbright Fellowship is funding to study and do research in a foreign country after you graduate from college. In several countries it is possible to use the grant to teach English.
The grant covers travel and living expenses as well as tuition and health insurance for one
academic year. A Fulbright application requires two essays: one about the project you plan
to carry out during your fellowship year and an autobiographical statement. Although it is
important to know the language of the country you plan to go to, or to be willing to learn it
quickly, there are 38 countries where the language is English. A few of these are:

• Australia
• Bangladesh
• Barbados
• Botswana
• Canada
• Cyprus
• Ethiopia
• etc. Stop in and pick up the complete list.
