The deadline to sign up for an interview for a Fulbright IIE grant for the next academic year is September 5, 1997. Pick up an application at the Graduate Fellowships Office, 318 Sproul Hall, and arrange for an interview. The campus interview is required to complete the application process. At the time you schedule your interview, you must submit copies of the following: a draft of your proposal, a copy of your CV (Fulbright requests a narrative statement giving a picture of yourself as an individual), and page one of your application.
You'll need to submit the final application, including your transcripts, language evaluation (if required), and three letters of recommendation to the Graduate Fellowships Office by September 26, 1997.
Fulbright grants provide funds for travel and living expenses for one year for graduate students to do research, teach, or study at a foreign institution. Fulbright encourages graduating seniors to apply. You must be a U.S. citizen to apply. For more information, call Michelle Bullock at 642-0672.
U.S. Department of Education Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowships provide funds for advanced graduate students to engage in full-time dissertation research overseas in modern foreign language studies, but not for projects that focus primarily on Western European topics. Applicants must be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States and possess adequate language skills to carry out the research. The deadline to apply is October 13, 1997. For more information, stop by 318 Sproul Hall.
The Graduate Division administers the University Block Grant Fellowship Program, which provides each academic department, school, or graduate group with an allocated total dollar appropriation to be used to award stipends, fees, and/or nonresident tuition to new and continuing students. To apply for a one-year merit fellowship, students should check with their departments for required application forms and deadlines.
Although the Graduate Division administers the funding, the selection process is handled by the departments.
If you have any questions, please contact your department.
It's not too late to apply for a Federal Direct Student Loan for 1997-98. Pick up a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from the rack outside 201 Sproul Hall. If you were awarded loans for 1997-98 but have not accepted them, you may do so through the early part of spring semester.
It may still be possible for you to convert some of your student loan eligibility to a work-study award. Ask about the availability of funds at 201 Sproul Hall, or call 642-0485.
Applications for Federal Direct Student Loans for 1998-99 will be available in January, with a priority deadline of March 2, 1998. If you filed a 1997-98 FAFSA, the federal government should send you a renewal application (shorter and easier to complete than the FAFSA) in December or January.
The workshop, "How to Acquire U.S. Permanent Residence," will be offered by Services for International Students and Scholars (SISS) throughout the academic year.

The deadline to apply for spring 1998 work-study grants is December 1997. Read the International Student Update newsletter in October for more information.
