A Fulbright Award gives you the opportunity to teach, research, or study abroad for an academic year after graduation. The process of applying is invaluable and winning the award is a life-changing experience.
To be eligible and competitive you need to:
– Be a U.S. citizen or national
– Have a 3.0 or higher GPA for serving as an English Teaching Assistant
– Have a 3.5 or higher to conduct research or attend graduate school abroad
– Be an active member in the Augsburg community or your home community
– Have effective skills to adapt to another culture and serve as a cultural ambassador of the U.S. to your host country
If you are a junior or senior, you would start working on your application this summer in preparation for an early fall 2026 submission. Selections are made in Spring 2027 for placement in Fall 2027.
