NEW DELHI:
The United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) announced the opening of
its annual competition for Fulbright-Nehru and other Fulbright
fellowships. Such exchanges have, over
the years, helped bring the people of India
and the United States
closer together. The Fulbright program
offers opportunities in the United States
that will enrich one’s academic, research, teaching, and professional
development. The India-U.S. bilateral Fulbright agreement has resulted in a
significant increase in the number of scholarships awarded each year.
Dr Rachna Singh, a DST-INSPIRE
Faculty awardee, who was at the Stanford University as a 2012-2013
Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral Research Fellow said, “My experience as a
Fulbrighter has been wonderful and enriching. Professionally, it provided me an
excellent opportunity to work with leading academicians in my study area. It
has increased my knowledge and expertise tremendously, which I am applying now
on my return to India.”
USIEF alumni have demonstrated
strong leadership in all walks of life, including agriculture, arts, business,
education, environment, humanities and social sciences, media, public health,
and science and technology. Outstanding Indian students, academics, teachers,
policy planners, administrators, and professionals are encouraged to apply.
USIEF expects to offer
approximately 90 Fulbright-Nehru fellowships for Indians in 2015. Fellowship
details are posted on the USIEF website http://www.usief.org.in/ Application deadlines begin July 1, 2014. Applicants may also
contact the USIEF offices in New Delhi,
Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, or
Mumbai.
