Fulbright awards are for study or research abroad for students who have not had a significant chance to do so prior to the award. You should have at least a 3.5 grade point average and a real interest in developing an international career. You will need to be competent in the language of the country where you wish to carry out your year abroad. There is a form in the application packet that must be completed by a language teacher here at UF as part of your application. Some parts of the formal interview on campus may be conducted in this language.
Specific countries have particular topical areas of interest.
The program brochure available in 140 Tigert Hall lists these. Not all countries have Fulbright programs, as these are bi-national awards that reflect mutual interests between the U.S. and other countries. Before you invest time in preparing an application of this sort, it is best to talk with Dr. Allan Burns who can find out more information about the country. The honors office has copies of the diskettes with the application forms on them that you can check out in order to put them on your own computer. You can also download them from this site, as outlined below.
