The Fairfield Fulbright Story

Image: SevilleSince 1993, 52 Fairfield University graduating seniors have been awarded a Fulbright - a year-long scholarship that supports post-graduate study, research, work, or teaching in another country. Established in 1946 by Congress, this government-sponsored program funds the studies and research of more than 1,450 U.S. graduating college seniors, graduate students, young professionals, and artists in over 155 foreign countries annually.

The Fulbright program - which aims to increase mutual understanding between people of the U.S. and of other countries - is aligned with Fairfield's mission of fostering values of global awareness, cross-cultural learning, and independent intellectual thought.

Fairfield graduating seniors from 22 disciplines ranging from biology and nursing to philosophy and politics have won Fulbrights. Fairfield seniors from all disciplines are invited to apply. You must be prepared to take on the challenging process of developing a Fulbright study proposal under the mentorship of members of the Fairfield University Fulbright Faculty Committee.
