A group of University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty and students won grants from the 2012-13 Fulbright Scholar Program, an organization that gives grants for study abroad and teaching abroad opportunities.
The grants provide recipients with funding for a complete year of study, teaching or research abroad. The program is sponsored by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, along with contributions from participating countries’ governments.
Three graduate students were awarded Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad grants, 14 students received Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants and four faculty members were awarded CIES Fulbright Scholar Program grants.
Since its inception, the Fulbright Program has provided approximately 310,000 students, teachers, artists and scientists opportunities to study, teach and research abroad.
UW-Madison is consistently among leading U.S. research institutions that produce Fulbright recipients, according to a statement released by the university.
