UTSA welcomes the
Fulbright Student Program on
Wednesday, April 10th at 11:00 AM - 12:15
Retama Auditorium
Lunch served.
Program:
Learn about the benefits and process of applying for a Fulbright fellowship to study
abroad for 8-12 months.
Fulbright Ambassadors, who previously traveled to South Africa and Kyrgyz Republic, will
present information about how to apply to Fulbright.
Students, faculty, and staff are invited to learn more about the Fulbright Student
Program, the educational exchange flagship program that sees thousands of students travel
abroad following graduation to study in graduate programs, research, or teach English as a
second language.
Fulbright staff and student ambassadors, who previously traveled to South Africa and
Kyrgyz Republic, will present information about how to apply to Fulbright.
Description: Fulbrighters travel on 8-12 month programs that are fully funded by the US
Department of State. Juniors, seniors, and graduate students who will have graduated by
Spring 2025 are especially encouraged to attend. Graduate students who want to conduct
research abroad for their dissertation can also apply. Base eligibility for the program is
that you are a US citizen. There is no minimum GPA and prior foreign travel is not
required.
Students applying to Fulbright are advised through UTSA's Office of Nationally
Competitive Awards<http://honors.utsa.edu/onca>;. Since 2019, 15 UTSA students have
won awards to travel on the Fulbright programs. Students have traveled recently to
Colombia, India, Mexico, St. Lucia, Sweden, Thailand, and Turkey.
Lunch: Following the presentation, pizza will be served and students will have an
opportunity to talk to Fulbright staff, the ambassadors and UTSA staff from The Office of
Nationally Competitive Awards and UTSA Study Abroad.
