RE: 25 APRIL 2006 ORIENTATION FOR 2007-2008 FULBRIGHT APPLICANTS
Graduating seniors and graduate students who want to do research or other
projects overseas can learn about successful strategies to receive a
prestigious Fulbright award at the Fulbright orientation session on Tuesday,
25 April 2006, Class Period 4 (10:40 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.) in the Ruth McQuown
Room (219 Dauer Hall).
Fulbright awards for graduate research at the Master of Arts and Doctor of
Philosopy level, as well as for graduating seniors, cover travel and living
expenses for a year in any of over 140 countries. Students in any field are
encouraged to apply. Examples of successful applications can be reviewed in
the Honors Office, 140 Tigert Hall.
Applicants for a Fulbright award must be US citizens, have an outstanding
GPA, have a record of community service, and be interested in international
scholarship. The Fulbright campus application deadline at UF is 18 September
2006; paper copies of the applications and supporting materials (letters of
recommendation, etc.) must be submitted to the Fulbright Program Advisors in
140 Tigert Hall by that date. Note that the campus deadline is earlier than
the national deadline of 21 October 2006, so that all UF applicants can be
interviewed on campus as required.
Students should access the on-line application directly through the website
at www.fulbrightonline.org, where there is more information about the
program and the specific country guidelines. For the 2004-2005 academic
year, there were nine Fulbrights from UF; there are currently five UF
students on Fulbright awards this year. For more information about the UF
application process, click on this link:
