> WHAT IS A U.S. STUDENT FULBRIGHT GRANT?

> It allows for individually designed study/research or an English  

> Teaching Assistantship. You can propose a project and/or study plan  

> that will take place during one academic year in a country outside  

> the U.S.

> It provides support for study/research/teaching in a single country.  

> (Limited opportunities exist for traveling to more than one  

> country.) You can meet, work, live with and learn from the people of  

> the host country, sharing daily experiences.

> It facilitates cultural exchange. Through direct interaction on an  

> individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in daily tasks,  

> you can gain an appreciation of others’ viewpoints and beliefs, the  

> way they do things, and the way they think.

> It promotes mutual understanding. Through engagement in the  

> community, you can interact with your hosts on a one-to-one basis in  

> an atmosphere of openness, academic integrity, and intellectual  

> freedom.
