Information for Student Applicants聽
Student awards are available to Canadian graduate students wishing to do one year of research/field work in the United States. Previous students have worked with farmers in Oregon to better understand local food networks, studied the impact of 鈥榞reen roofs鈥� on well-being in Chicago, and discovered the original Haitian Constitution in the archives at Duke University before returning to Canada to complete their graduate degree.
Fulbright award recipients continue to benefit as alumni. In addition to the benefits of joining the prestigious international Fulbright network, alumni have access to Fulbright Canada sponsored academic and social events as well as to additional funding to undertake local community action (through Fulbright Canada鈥檚 Eco-Leadership and Community Leadership programs).
Information for Faculty Applicants
The ideal time for faculty members to consider a Fulbright award is when they are planning their sabbatical. Fulbright awards offer a unique opportunity to focus on specific research and writing without the distractions found at home.
