UC's Institute for Global Studies and Affairs (IGSA), in cooperation with the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the U.S. Department of State, reminds potential applicants that the 2005-06 Fulbright Student Program application period ends in October.

Applications from UC students should be submitted in full to Susan Bacon, UC’s associate director of the Institute for Global Studies and Affairs, by Oct. 1 in order to be received by IIE by the Oct. 21 national deadline.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program equips future American leaders with the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly global environment by providing funding for one academic year of study or research abroad, to be conducted after graduation from an accredited university.

Grant recipients undertake self-designed programs in disciplines ranging from social sciences, business, communication and performing arts to physical sciences, engineering and education. The U.S. Student Program awards approximately 1,100 grants annually and currently operates in more than 140 countries worldwide.
