Fulbright Scholarship Interviewers Needed

The National Scholarships Office is looking for faculty and staff members with experience in international education who are interested in interviewing students and reviewing applications for the Fulbright Scholarship. This is a great, low commitment way to help our students compete on the national stage.

Panelists typically review three applications, offering feedback and participating in short interviews with students. This year's interviews will take place between on the weeks of September 6 and September 12. To accommodate our alumni applicants, we will be holding both in person and virtual interviews.
