New event series: Explore Fulbright!

Interested in pursuing a Fulbright? Distinguished Fellowships is introducing a new series spotlighting specific Fulbright countries and the Fulbright program’s spirit of international educational exchange.

In these informal, in-person sessions, you can chat with a visiting Fulbright Scholar or Fulbright Foreign Student currently on campus at MIT, ask questions, and gain insight into the countries highlighted.

MIT’s Fulbright Program Advisor, Julia Mongo (jmongo@mit.edu), will be on hand to explain the Fulbright US Student Program opportunities offered in each country and answer questions on the application process.

We also encourage you to attend one of our general Fulbright Information Sessions on February 12 (Zoom) or March 11 (in-person).
