The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies - Funding Opportunities - Graduate Students - Fulbright Program

Seed Grant Competition

The Einaudi Center announces a biannual seed grant program designed to advance international studies at Cornell. Tenured and tenure-track Cornell faculty are eligible to apply for these grants, as are Programs and Centers within the university, irrespective of their college or school of origin.

Applying for Fulbright Grants

Information meetings are held twice during the spring semester and again the first week of the fall semester for the following year's competition. Dates are posted on the calendar for each session.

Applicants can arrange individual counseling sessions with Cornell's Fulbright adviser, Professor Emeritus Gil Levine, throughout the month of September. Contact the Mario Einaudi Center for an appointment.

Fulbright brochures are available after May 1 at the Einaudi Center for International Studies, 158 Uris Hall. Applications are online and will be available May 1 as well.

If you are not currently enrolled at a US Institution

Applicants who have already graduated may apply. Candidates should contact us directly for our policy on working with alumni. If the Adviser is agreeable, applicants should know they will need to meet the campus deadline, follow campus instructions for the submission of their applications and support documents, as well as make themselves available for the campus interview. Please see http://us.fulbrightonline.org/howtoapply.html for more information.

Application Deadline

The on-campus deadline for online application submission is September 12, 2008. Faculty interviews are scheduled with applicants through mid-October. Full dossiers for successful applicants are then forwarded to the Institute of International Education (IIE) in time for its late October deadline.

Process

Applications are considered at the national level and by a committee in the host country before awards are announced in the spring.
