The Overseas Abroad Office located on the third floor of Mitchell Building provided the most pertinent information, including the Fulbright application. The official due date for the Fulbright was not until October 15. However, if you applied through the University of Maryland, the due date was September 22. It was to my benefit to apply through this office, as the Fulbright committee on campus acted as an advocate of my application. Volunteers must organize bi-weekly talks for and by women graduate students.
Some money is available from the department for special lunches as well.
Serving as a WIM volunteer should be an enjoyable experience for anyone who wants to get involved.
