The Student Fulbright Program, sponsored by the US Department of State and coordinated in the United States by the Institute of International Education, is a competitive fellowship program funding study or teaching abroad at the post-baccalaureate or graduate level.  In recent years NIU students have won awards that allowed them to teach English in other countries for one year or to conduct dissertation research vital to their doctoral degree programs.  If you are a US citizen who's a strong student with a hope to spend a year abroad witha focused project,  The Student Fulbright Program may be ideal for you.

Darmasiswa Scholarships for study in Indonesia
The Blakemore Foundation plans to make 25-30 grants for the advanced study of modern Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian language during the 2007/2008 academic year. These grants are intended for those pursuing professional, academic, or business careers that involve the regular use of an Asian language. The grants fund a year of advanced language study at an institution in Asia. Where there is no structured advanced-level language program at an educational institution in the country, the grant may provide for the financing of private tutorials under the terms set forth in the application instructions. The grants cover tuition and a stipend for related educational expenses, basic living costs and transportation, but do not include dependent expenses. Deadline for applications: Postmarked by December 30, 2006. For application forms and further information see: http://www.blakemorefoundation.org
