The Fulbright program is open to U.S. citizens who have pursued a majority of their college career in the United States. Graduating seniors, recent graduates and graduate students are eligible to apply. A total of about 1,000 awards will be offered for study abroad in 2007-08. In addition to academic year study and research opportunities, the Fulbright Program awards English teaching assistantships to Chile, France, Germany, Hungary, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey.
