Fulbright Program for U.S. Students
Thursday, September 30

Description: The Fulbright Program for U.S. Students is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Reed students who are U.S. citizens with a strong academic record may apply in one of two primary categories: Full grants are offered by the Fulbright Program for U.S. Students to U.S. recent bachelor's graduates, master's and doctoral students, young professionals and artists for study and research abroad, and will cover round-trip transportation to the host country, living costs for the duration abroad, books, research allowance, and, in most cases, full or partial tuition. The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships Program (ETA), an element of the Fulbright Program for U.S. Students, is designed to improve foreign students' English language abilities and knowledge of the United States. Participants are placed outside of capital cities in over 20 countries and are fully integrated into the host community, increasing their own language skills and knowledge of the host country. English Teaching Assistants may also pursue individual study/research plans in addition to their teaching responsibilities. Recipients of an English Teaching Assistantship receive the same kinds of funding as awarded for full grants. Interested students should discuss this opportunity with their academic adviser. Specific program questions can be addressed to Paul DeYoung, campus Fulbright adviser; Kate Bredeson, Fellowships and Awards Committee representative for Fulbright; and Jo Cannon, Coordinator for Fellowships and Awards.
