Fulbright Week

Departmental and program administrators, undergraduate advisors, graduate coordinators, and all UW-Madison faculty and staff are invited to this online Monday morning kickoff program where we will review the full range of Fulbright and Fulbright-Hays programs that we support on campus. We’ll discuss those that offer funding and opportunities to UW-Madison community members at all levels and stages in their careers – from the soon-to-graduate undergraduate to emeriti faculty – to pursue work, research, teaching, artistic, and professional opportunities for a few weeks to a year abroad; as well as the range of programs that we support which bring Fulbrighters to campus as graduate students, language instructors, and scholars conducting research and more.

Online information session for UW-Madison students, staff, and alumni interested in opportunities to be an English teaching assistant (ETA) abroad through the Fulbright US Student Program (FUSP). Applicants for a FUSP must be a US citizen at the time of application. In addition to an overview of the FUSP ETA awards and opportunities, campus resources, and next steps, we will be joined by recent UW-Madison awardees who will share their experiences. The 2026-2027 Fulbright US Student Program competition will open March 31, 2025.

Join us on Wednesday morning to meet staff from Fulbright commissions and posts from around the world (including Denmark, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, and more) to learn about the opportunities available to US students, faculty, staff, and alumni through the various Fulbright programs as well as get insight into how commissions work in-country and with awardees. Each country will present an overview of awards and the awarding process; there will be time reserved for Q&As as well.

Those interested in the broad range of opportunities available through both the Fulbright US Student Program and the Fulbright Scholar Program are encouraged to attend – this program should provide unparalleled insight into how Fulbright works in countries around the world, regardless of which particular award you will be pursuing!

Have a question about one of the many Fulbright & Fulbright-Hays programs available to UW-Madison students, faculty, staff, and alumni? Heard about “Fulbright” but aren’t sure what it might mean to you? Are you an administrator trying to assist one of your international Fulbrighters studying here at UW-Madison? Every Wednesday we have drop-in hours where you can have your questions answered, schedule a more in-depth appointment, or just learn more about what “Fulbright” could make possible for you!

This is an opportunity for our UW-Madison Fulbright community – incoming and outgoing, past and present – to meet, chat, connect, and enjoy some refreshments together. And an opportunity for those who would like to learn more about Fulbright to connect with Fulbrighters on campus!

Learn about opportunities available to pursue graduate study, conduct research, and practice your creative & performing arts abroad through the Fulbright US Student Program (FUSP).

In addition to reviewing the program and upcoming competition, we will be joined by recent UW-Madison FUSP awardees who will share their experiences. The 2026-2027 Fulbright US Student Program competition will open March 31, 2025.
