FULBRIGHT GRANTS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDY/RESEARCH IN THE SCIENCES, MATHEMATICS AND ENGINEERING
Are you are a graduate student and US citizen in a science, math or engineering field? Would you benefit from the opportunity to do research abroad for an academic year?
The Fulbright US Student Program fully funds an academic year of advanced research/studies abroad, and welcomes applications from graduate students in scientific and technical disciplines. Fulbright US Student grants may be ideal for graduate students who:
- Would benefit from the opportunity to work in a lab or facility abroad
- Would benefit from the opportunity to conduct fieldwork abroad
- Have research advisors with active international collaborations
- Already have strong international study/research and cultural interests and possibly language skills as well
Graduate students interested in learning more should contact the National Scholarships Office at Maryland, which provides individual advising and support at all stages of the Fulbright process – email us at fulbright@umd.edu for an appointment.
These are examples of recent graduate student Fulbright research proposal topics and their locations abroad:
Transversals and Duplexes of Latin Squares – Mathematics, Australia
Self-assembled Thermoelectric Nanocoils – Engineering, Israel
Development of an Efficient Method to Simulate Biological Systems – Chemical Physics, Austria
Galactic Evolution through Mergers – Astronomy, Chile
Characterizing Reef Fish Spawning Aggregations – Ecology, Venezuela
Brain-Machine Interfaces – Neuroscience, Germany
Eligibility: To apply for a Fulbright US Student Grant for 2012-13 you must be a US Citizen who will NOT have earned a Ph.D. before October, 2011. Language requirements vary by country but are usually more flexible in cases where the research lab/facility abroad conducts its work in English.
