Fulbright Scholarship

Many students want to make a difference after they graduate. I think this would be the hope for most individuals, but at Dominican especially because of our "caritas et veritas" lifestyle. One way to do this may be the Fulbright Scholarship program.

With this, students can live overseas to help teach, do research, or lecture. It may be an interesting way to get a taste of other volunteering opportunities. The foundation gives several different types of grants. The qualifications are as follows:

  • Are a U.S. citizen, and
  • Are a graduating senior; hold a B.S./B.A. degree; are a master's or doctoral degree candidate; or are a young professional or artist, and
  • Are thinking of studying, teaching or conducting research abroad, and
  • Are in good health

Has Dominican turned out any Fulbrights in recent years? Or Rhodes? Or Marshalls?

I can't recall reading about any--but I imagine there have been some. Would be interesting to know what they did overseas and what they're doing now.
