Students
at
the
University
of
Michigan
received
a
total
of
24
Fulbright grants for the
2018-2019 academic year,
according to the Chronicle
of Higher Education. This
is the highest number of
Fulbright
scholarships
given
to
any
public
university for the 14th year
in a row, according to the
U.S. State Department.
The Fulbright Program,
one of the most prestigious
awards funded by the U.S.
State Department, granted
scholarships to University
faculty members, alumni
and students. The grants
will be used to fund the
scholar’s overseas research
for six to 12 months.

In
an
interview
with
the
University
Record,
University President Mark
Schlissel
commended
the
University’s
newest
Fulbright
awardees
for
their dedication to making
positive global impacts.
“U-M’s commitment to
international
education
helps students and scholars
gain
new
perspectives
and
higher
levels
of
understanding that make
our world a better and
safer place,” Schlissel said.
There are two main types
of
Fulbright
grants
for
students. English teaching
assistantships provided by
the Fulbright grant send
students to other countries
to work various jobs. There
are
additional
academic
Fulbright grants that can
be used to seek a degree in

another country or be used
as an overseas research
award.
Beth
Dutridge-
Corp,
coordinator
of
International
Institute
fellowships and grants, and
Heather Johnson, adviser
of International Institute
fellowships
and
grants,

work
with
students
and
faculty
members
to apply for Fulbright
scholarships.
Faculty
members
can
apply
for
a
separate
Fulbright
grant
called
Fulbright
Scholars.
This
year,
five University faculty
received the Fulbright
Scholar
recognition.
They
include
Yolain
Civil,
instructor
of
pediatrics;
Seyed
Mehdian,
professor
of
finance at U-M Flint;
Zora
Longworth,
research
professor
of
family
medicine;
Jeffery
Wilson,
associate
professor
of
paleontology;
and
Suleyman
Uludag,
interim
associate
professor
of
computer
science at U-M Flint.
The
University’s
International
Institute
aides
in
advising
Fulbright applicants and
provides them with the
resources to put forward

a
strong,
competitive
application. In an interview
with
the
University
Record, Johnson explained
the University’s successes
regarding
the
Fulbright
grant.
“We have a seasoned team
consisting
of
Fulbright
Program
advisers
and
faculty that is very invested
in our applicants’ success,”
Johnson said. “It also helps
that
U-M
students
are
perennially impressive in
their own right.”
Although
the
University’s
Office
of
National Scholarships and
Fellowships is not involved
with the Fulbright grant,
ONSF
Director
Henry
Dyson
highlighted
the
efforts
put
forth
by
Johnson
and
Dutridge-
Corp
in
the
Fulbright
application process.
“Beth and Heather are
really fantastic at helping
students
find
the
best
fit
and
articulate
that
through their applications,
and it’s why I think it’s
a
huge
advantage
for
us
that
we
have
these
specialized
advisers
in
the International Institute
who dedicwate so much
of their year to Fulbright
advising,” Dyson said.
According to a video by
Fulbright,
scholars
are
considered to be current
and future leaders who
are committed to national
engagement and open to
new ideas.

“Above all, Fulbrighters
exemplify the power of
international
academic
exchange
to
transform
lives,
bridge
geographic
and cultural boundaries,
and
promote
a
more
peaceful and prosperous
world,” the video said.
