All College of Engineering faculty are encouraged to consider applying for the Fulbright Program; this year’s national application deadline is Sept. 15, 2020.
The Fulbright Program is the United States government's flagship international educational and cultural exchange program. The global network of Fulbrighters fosters mutual understanding between the United States and over 160 partner countries, advances knowledge across communities, and improves lives around the globe. Each year, the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program provides approximately 800 grants in more than 130 countries to support teaching and research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.
Petrina Suiter (External Recognition and Awards Coordinator in the UNL Office of Research and Economic Development) recently held an information webinar about the Fulbright Program for UNL faculty members. A recording of that webinar, which discusses the application process overview and insights from Fulbright Alumni is available at this link: https://unl.zoom.us/rec/play/7MJ5Ir_8qjs3SYCRsQSDCvR5W9XuLq2s0XVI-adZmk7nUHNXMFGubrVGMbd-1-ou1cWT0RTybcmu932T?continueMode=true&_x_zm_rtaid=Da48nk-DTrmWbVKHdSo9zg.1597078088169.793467b22bdbc27040546c2e6bb6b737&_x_zm_rhtaid=924
