Application tips and FAQs:

Application tips on Twitter ('Twips'): @FulbrightAwards
Grey shaded boxes vs. text boxes on the application form: grey boxes on the application form are expandable and students should be able to fit a few phrases/sentences within those boxes to properly answer the questions; text boxes cannot expand and students' answers should remain within the provided space
Previous travel outside the US: preference will be given to those who do not have extensive, recent experience in the UK; while experience in the UK won't preclude selection, it is a disadvantage in this particular competition, however, a strong application wouldn't prevent success - we encourage anyone eligible and interested to apply for these awards
Recommendation letters: students should be requesting that their recommendation letters be written on official letterhead of the school, business, or other organization where possible

Stipends for Summer Study/ Research Overseas

The Office of International Programs is pleased to announce the availability of summmer stipends for studies or research overseas. In recent years, the stipends have ranged from $200-500 and we expect they will be in that range again this year.

Because funds are limited, we ask that those interested in receiving a stipend apply by March 1. The applications will be reviewed by a Faculty Committee which will make the funding decisions. The recipients will be notified on March 8, 2013.

Application packages should include

Statement of motivation and relevance to your academic and professional goals
An unofficial transcript
A budget showing both costs and other revenue contributions (family, grants, scholarships, etc.). We expect the student to have some financial contribution
A brochure, application or other descriptive document on the program to be undertaken

Complete packages will be reviewed

All applications are due in a sealed envelope at OIP's office by close of business on March 1, 2013.

Fund for Education Abroad Study-Abroad Scholarships

Funding amount: up to $5,000 per semester, up to $10,000 per academic year Website: www.fundforeducationabroad.org Applications not being accepted at this time

The fund for Education Abroad (FEA) invites applications from undergraduate students for FEA study aboard scholarships. These awards are intended to support students planning to participate in high-quality, rigorous education abroad programs in the 2013-2014 academic year or summer 2013.

Nationally, only about 14% of students who study abroad are STEM fields FEAT is hoping to increase this number. When granting scholarships, FEA targets students typically underrepresented in study abroad - minorities, science and technology majors, community college students, first generation students - providing these students a pivotal component of their education and key rung on their ladder towards success in the American workforce.
