Fulbright Program: U.S. Applicant Podcast

Fulbright_program_u_s_applicant_podcast_1Tony Claudino, Director, Fulbright Student Outreach, provides advice and guidance to candidates interested in applying to the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers fellowships to U.S. recent bachelor's graduates, master's and doctoral students, young professionals and artists for study and research abroad. In academic year 2007-2008, more than 1,500 Americans are studying abroad with either full or partial support from the Fulbright Program. The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships Program (ETA), an element of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, is designed to improve foreign students' English language abilities and knowledge of the United States. Participants are placed outside of capital cities in over 20 countries and are fully integrated into the host community, increasing their own language skills and knowledge of the host country. English Teaching Assistants may also pursue individual study/research plans in addition to their teaching responsibilities.

The Fulbright Program in Brief
The flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, widely known as 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 as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 273,000 participants chosen for their leadership potential with the opportunity to observe each other's political, economic, educational and cultural institutions, to exchange ideas and to embark on joint ventures of importance to the general welfare of the world.
