How to Apply for a Fulbright Grant: Informational Workshop for Faculty, Staff, and Administrators

Fulbright Grants
The Fulbright Scholar Program is a life-changing opportunity for faculty, staff, and administrators to teach, conduct research, and carry out professional projects in over 135 countries. Previous Fulbrighters report that the experience has been one of the most fulfilling in their careers, with profound effects on how they approach their teaching and scholarship in years to come.

Through this informational workshop, participants will hear several experts talk about the various types of Fulbright grants and how to navigate the application process through EMU, as well as personal success stories of recent EMU faculty Fulbright grantees. Presenters will include:

  • Jacyln Assarian, Recruitment Specialist, US Fulbright Program

  • Professor Bill Sverdlik, Department of Computer Science
  • Professor Ovidiu Calin, Department of Mathematics and Statistics
