Four University of Göttingen Students Selected for Fulbright Travel Scholarships
Fulbright – in higher education circles one of the most recognized and highly regarded international scholarship programmes. Established in 1946, the mission of the Fulbright Program is to promote transnational understanding through academic and scientific exchange between the US and over 160 nations and territories worldwide. The German-American Fulbright Commission (Fulbright Germany) advances this mission through scholarships and exchange programmes for study, research, teaching and professional development in the US and Germany.
One of Fulbright Germany’s key scholarship programmes is the Travel Scholarship. This scholarship supports students at German institutions who have been selected for an exchange programme at a US partner institution. It includes a stipend to cover travel costs, a special pre-departure orientation from Fulbright Germany, and the recipients also become part of Fulbright’s worldwide network. This year, we are proud to announce that four students at the University of Göttingen have been selected for Fulbright Travel Scholarships!
Göttingen International, together with Fulbright liaison professor Niko Balkenhol of the Faculty for Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology, supports the administration of the Fulbright Program through advising, promotion, and as applicable, coordination of the nomination process for outgoing students, as well as advising and support for incoming Fulbright recipients from the United States.
