Seniors and Recent Grads: Live Abroad for a Year after College

submitted by obrienk@augsburg.edu

The Fulbright Student Program fully funds students to study, research, or serve as an English teaching assistant abroad for a year (no teaching experience required!). During their year abroad, Fulbrighters meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences. The program facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks, allowing participants to gain an appreciation of others’ viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do things, and the way they think.

Past Augsburg students have been selected for Fulbright Awards to countries such as Czech Republic, South Korea, Ecuador, Malaysia, Peru, Turkey, Taiwan, Kenya, Poland and Germany (and more!), and six Augsburg graduates will be going abroad this upcoming year as Fulbrighters! Augsburg’s focus on cross-cultural engagement and community involvement makes Auggies particularly strong candidates who are well-prepared to make the most of a Fulbright experience.

Competitive applicants will have a GPA of a 3.4 or above. Please contact urgo@augsburg.edu or stop by Hagfors 101 to set up an appointment in July!
