Fulbright Student Program
Through engagement in the community abroad, the individual will interact with their hosts in an atmosphere of openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom, thereby promoting mutual understanding.
CIIS students and alumni are encouraged to apply! Applicants must be U.S. citizens holding a B.A. degree or equivalent before the beginning date of the grant. The award provides round-trip travel, tuition, books, and stipend for one academic year. It also applies to course work, master’s or dissertation research. Please find information at https://us.fulbrightonline.org/.
The CIIS Fulbright Campus Committee is made up of staff and faculty who host campus events to promote the Fulbright Program and who review the Grant Purpose Statement and Personal Statement, providing feedback though a Campus Committee Interview. CIIS applicants who apply "at-large" may also be eligible to work with the CIIS Campus Committee.
The CIIS Fulbright Adviser (FPA) is Jody O’Connor, Associate Director of Student Affairs, joconnor@ciis.edu.
