Fulbright U.S. Student Program Writing Workshop Series Invitation to Graduate Students

As a current graduate student, we would like to invite you to learn more about the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.  Administered by the U.S. Department of State, bi-national Fulbright Commissions and Foundations, and the Public Affairs Sections of U.S. embassies abroad, Fulbright supports 8-10 months of research, study or English teaching outside of the United States upon completion of an undergraduate degree. U.S. citizenship is required.

You can learn how to apply for Fulbright through USC by reviewing the Academic Honors and Fellowships Fulbright page and joining us for our upcoming Writing Workshop Series.

 

The mission of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is to foster cross-cultural understanding and mutual exchange between countries.  Each year, USC students receive this prestigious award and funding opportunity to spend an academic year abroad.USC was named a Top Producer of Fulbright Students for the seventh consecutive year!

 

USC Academic Honors and Fellowships offers resources and an intentional professional development experience for Fulbright applicants.  Of the applicants who applied through USC this fall, 57% are moving on as semi-finalists for the 2019-2020 grant year!
