Georgia Tech students are encouraged to apply for Fulbright awards available in 140 countries around the world. Through Fulbright students may 1) do research, 2) a one-year degree program, or 3) be an English teaching assistant.

Seniors and graduate students may apply next fall. Students at all levels are invited to learn about the Fulbright program. Students must be US citizens.

The campus deadline for Fulbright applications is September 16, and students need to work with Dr. Karen Adams this spring (karen.adams@provost.gatech.edu) to begin work on the application. Students are urged to make an appointment with Dr. Adams asap to learn what is needed in a letter of invitation and for preparation of essays.

Information about the Fulbright program for last year can be found at www.fulbrightonline.org. In May the web site will have information about the program for fall applications.
