FULBRIGHT U.S. Student PRogram

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is an opportunity for Americans to participate in a 9-12 month cultural exchange program in one of over 140 countries. Applicants can propose an individually designed study/research project or apply to become an English Teaching Assistant. Other special programs, such as the Fulbright National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellowship, offer additional opportunities to live and study abroad.

Eligibility

U.S. citizens who will have a conferred bachelor’s degree or the equivalent before the start of the grant are eligible to apply.  Please refer to the Fulbright program’s website for a complete list of eligibility requirements.

How To Apply

Current ArtCenter students must apply through the Exchange and Study Away office. ArtCenter alumni are welcome to apply and receive advisement through the College’s Exchange and Study Away office as well.  Alternatively, alumni may apply independently as At-Large candidates.

Please visit the “Applicants” section of the Fulbright website to learn more about the application process, including helpful tips and upcoming information sessions. Next, make an appointment with the campus Fulbright Program Advisor, Katie Perkins, at katie.perkins@artcenter.edu, to discuss your intent to apply and confirm the campus deadline.

Campus Deadline for the 2024-2025 Competition Cycle: September 15, 2023

FULBRIGHT GROUP PRESENTATION SESSION

Interested students and alumni are invited to attend an interactive Group Presentation Session (GPS) to learn about opportunities for U.S. citizens to pursue graduate or professional study, conduct research, or teach English. During the session, you will find out about the types of Fulbright awards, application components, tips, and get your questions answered.

Following the program overview, attendees will enter a breakout room with their Fulbright Program Adviser(s) (FPA) to learn more about applying through their institution.

This spring, the GPS took place on Monday, March 20 at 1pm (Week 10). Check out the recording of the session here.
