Seniors interested in studying and/or doing research for a year in one country abroad should seriously consider applying for a Fulbright grant. These grants cover travel expenses, university fees, and living costs, and they are available for over 140 countries. For some countries, training in critical languages is available. It is also possible to serve as a teaching assistant for English in 33 countries around the world. For most study-research Fulbrights, language fluency and a strong academic background in the subject to be studied are key qualifications. If you plan to apply, you should get in touch as soon as possible with Krishna Winston (x3378), Wesleyan’s Fulbright Program Advisor, who will work closely with you throughout the application process. She also administers grant programs for study in Germany under the auspices of the DAAD — the German Academic Exchange Service (deadline: Oct. 15) — and the Baden-Württemberg Exchange (deadline: Feb. 15). The campus deadline for the Fulbright is October 5; disregard the later date mentioned on the IIE’s Fulbright Website!
