Fulbright Grants 2007-08

May 1, 2006, is the official opening of the 2007-08 competition for Fulbright Grants for professional training in the creative and performing arts.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program equips future American leaders with the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly global environment by providing funding for one academic year of self-designed study or research abroad.

Fulbright Grants provide roundtrip international travel, maintenances for the tenure of the award and tuition waivers, if applicable. All grants include health and accident insurance. Applicants must be U.S. citizens at the time of application, must have a bachelor's degree or four years of equivalent training/study, and are required to have sufficient proficiency in the language of the host country to carry out their proposed study or research.

The U.S. Student Program awards approximately 1,100 grants annually, and currently operates in more than 140 countries. The Fulbright program is sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Currently enrolled students should contact Carole Adrian in the Office of Academic Affairs (Room 221) for brochures and important information about application procedures. Serious applicants must establish an access account online well in advance of the Juilliard deadline for application completion, which is September 22, 2006.
