Karla Guinigundo, Global Initiatives, is seeking nominations for student Fulbright candidates. Although the campus deadline is in the fall, these require extensive preparation and she is offering information sessions this spring. She writes:

Global Initiatives is currently recruiting Miami’s cohort of applicants for the 2019-2020 Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program supports approximately 1,900 U.S. students to engage in study, research, or English teaching assistantships abroad annually.

Academic excellence, leadership, and a commitment to increasing intercultural understanding between the United States and citizens of other countries are qualities the Fulbright program seeks in applicants.

Nominations by faculty members can be a powerful source of motivation for students. Are there students in your departments or programs that would be competitive applicants for the Fulbright U.S. student program? If so, please Nominate a Student so we can reach out with an invitation to attend one of the spring information sessions.
