Announcement - Fulbright Information Workshop, April 24, 2006

SDSU applications for U.S. Student Fulbright grants are due Oct. 2, 2006 (for grants for 2007-08), and now is the best time to start the process. Please plan to attend an informative workshop on Monday, April 24 at 1 p.m. in Scripps Cottage. To reserve a space, email fulbright@mail.sdsu.edu.

Last year, four SDSU students and two alumni received Fulbright grants and are currently in Austria, Germany, Netherlands, the Slovak Republic, Mexico and Malaysia (see Aaron Pratts' blog on the SDSU home page). This year, four SDSU students have been selected as finalists for 2006-07 grants to the Slovak Republic, France, Norway and Syria.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens and have an undergraduate degree completed by September 2007. Graduate students at any level may apply, as may recent alums. These U.S. State Dept. Fulbright grants, offered since 1946 to promote cultural understanding around the world, are available each year to 1200 students for 130 different countries. Students receive round trip air fare, and a living stipend for an academic year in another country.

Students should review the Fulbright site for requirements and available countries and programs. SDSU Fulbright Adviser, Dr. Patricia Huckle, is available to meet with students.
