IIE program officers will provide information on the upcoming competition cycle that starts in February 2021, and on the Catalog of Awards. The presenters will share tips for preparing strong Fulbright applications, initiating outreach to international host institutions, and doing short- and long-term planning.

Time will be given for Q&A. Please add your question in the registration form.

Brian Souders, Associate Director for Global Engagement Opportunities in the Center for Global Engagement, and UMBC’s Fulbright Scholar Liaison, will discuss support for faculty applicants.

Attendees will receive an email from IIE with a Zoom link the week of the workshop.
