If you are unable to attend any of these but are interested, please fill out this brief survey.
Eligibility
U.S. Citizens – Master’s and PhD students. Note that PhD students should be at or approaching candidacy and can apply up to the time of graduation (to use as a post-doc) but not after. The program also welcomes applications from recent graduates with a master’s degree. This is an opportunity for alumni to turn knowledge gained through professional experience into exciting international research projects. This can be a great step toward PhD level study or for transitioning to a new career phase.
Benefits
Round-trip transportation, living costs for the academic year, based on living costs in the host country, and supplemental health and accident insurance. Depending on the country, you may also receive modest funds for dependent support, book and research allowances, tuition, and language or orientation courses.
Grant Duration
Approximately one academic year; length and timing of awards varies by individual country and/or region.
Campus Deadline
The UMD campus deadline is September 1, 2022. However, there is a lot to do in putting together a successful Fulbright proposal. Our successful applicants start by late spring/early summer.
This event is open to all ME undergraduate and graduate students to participate in roundtable discussions with Mechanical Engineering alumni. The event will be in-person and lunch will be provided.
Please see the invitation below and register at go.umd.edu/nibbleandnetwork.
