The flagship international educational program sponsored by the United States Government, the Fulbright Program is designed to "increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries..." With this goal, the Fulbright Program has provided over 279,000 participants — chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research overseas, as well as to exchange ideas and to contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. Fulbright Program for U.S. Students Tulane seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates can apply for an Institute of International Education/Fulbright grant to take coursework, conduct research, or teach English overseas. Grantees plan their own programs, usually for a period of one year. The application deadline is in early fall (e.g., October 1, 2008 for 2009-2010 grants). Please see the Fulbright Programs for U.S. Students web site for more information and contact Tulane’s Fulbright Program Advisor, Richard Watts ( rwatts1 at tulane.edu ), to begin the application process. Tulane campus application deadline: October 1, 2008 Fulbright Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Tulane doctoral students can apply for the Department of Education Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad program. Students' coursework and proposed research must reflect significant graduate training in foreign languages and area studies. The fellowships support 6-12 months of research overseas in most areas except Western Europe (thought research there on a non-western European subject is possible). The application deadline is October 31, 2008. Please visit the Department of Education ’s web site and contact Richard Watts ( rwatts1 at tulane.edu ) for more information. "The Fulbright Program aims to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world affairs and thereby to increase the chance that nations will learn at last to live in peace and friendship." --J. William Fulbright
