APPLYING FOR A FULBRIGHT GRANT FOR U.S. STUDENTS

The Fulbright Program for U.S. Students provides an excellent opportunity for Mason seniors, graduate students, and recent alumni to spend an academic year in one of over 140 countries with full funding. Over ten Mason students from a wide variety of academic disciplines have been awarded Fulbright grants in the past few years.

The current application cycle provides funding for the 2010-2011 academic year. This particular program is limited to U.S. citizens, but there is no age limit. Those who are (or soon will be) recent college graduates are particularly encouraged to consider applying for the English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) program, which does not necessarily require second language proficiency. Students can undertake a range of options and projects, including academic study, field research, or work with a non-governmental agency. Mason’s internal application deadline is September 15th. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to review the Fulbright Program website prior to the session they attend.

Students and alumni intending to apply for a Fulbright in early Fall 2010 need to inform Dr. Berger of their plans by July 1st.
