Share with your students: Apply for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program by Aug. 29
Please encourage your outstanding graduate students who would be strong candidates to apply for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program and encourage them to take the steps below as soon as possible as competitive proposals take time to plan and draft. The deadline to open an application for ASU’s endorsement is Thursday, August 29, 2024.
In our efforts to recruit high-quality ASU applicants for Fulbright awards, the Lorraine W. Frank Office of National Scholarships Advisement invites outstanding graduate students to schedule an intake appointment to conduct research, advance an artistic portfolio, teach english or study abroad. In particular, a Fulbright award can greatly advance a thesis or dissertation that could benefit from conducting research abroad.
We appreciate your partnership and work to foster Fulbright’s mission of increasing mutual understanding, building lasting connections and advancing knowledge.
