MINI GRANTS
Mini-grants submitted to local civic
groups and business are important potential sources for student study abroad. In the past, individual students who
participated in College of Education study abroad programs, specially the Wales
program, have received as much as $1400 from various civic
organizations in their hometowns. This funding source is well worth the effort!

BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
Fulbright
Scholarships for Graduating Seniors or Graduate Students
The Fulbright grant competition
begins
May 1. If you are graduating this year,
this may be the perfect
graduate program
for you. "The U.S. Student Fulbright
Program is designed to give recent
B.S./B.A. graduates, master's and
doctoral candidates,
and young
professional and artists opportunities
for personal development and
international experience. Most grantees
plan their own programs. Projects may include
university coursework,
independent library or field research, classes in a music
conservatory or art school, special projects in the social
or life sciences, or a
combination.
Recent projects have involved cancer research in the UK, free market
development in Mauritius, women's
rights in Chile, and contemporary
artistic expression in
India. Along
with opportunities
for intellectual, professional, and artistic growth, the Fulbright Program offers
invaluable opportunities to meet and work with
people of the host country, sharing
daily
life as well as professional and creative insights. The program promotes cross-cultural
interaction and mutual understanding on a person-to-person
basis in an atmosphere of
openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom. The best way to appreciate
others'
viewpoints, their beliefs, the
way they think, and the way they do
things, is to interact
with them directly
on an individual basis---work with them,
live with them, teach with
them, and
learn from them." (Fulbright U.S.
Student Program
Booklet,
1999-2000, p. 5) Eligibility:
Applicants
must be U.S. citizens at the time of
the
application. Preference will be
given to applicants whose higher
education was received
primarily at educational institutions in the United
States. Applicants must hold a B.A.
degree or the equivalent before the beginning date of the grant. Applicants
must have
sufficient proficiency in
the written and spoken language of
the host country to carry out
the
proposed study. Good health. Full
grants are available in
over 100
nations throughout the world.
