Fulbright Scholarship Workshop

Walter Jackson, a manager with the Fulbright U.S. Students at the Institute of International Education, will be visiting UC Irvine to deliver a workshop on graduate and undergraduate Fulbright applications. His presentation is intended to give students some insight into the application process and what it entails; the presentation includes time for a Q/A session. This is a wonderful opportunity for all interested students to learn more about the Fulbright Fellowship directly from one of the foundation’s representatives. The workshop will take place May 26, 2009 (Week 9) from 10:00am-11:00am. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to the Scholarship Opportunities Program office by May 21st via E-mail or dropping in.
