NJCU set a new record with five students and alumni receiving the prestigious and highly competitive Fulbright U.S. Student Awards for 2017-2018. These students are part of an elite group of only 2000 students who were selected for this award from over 10,000 applicants from various institutions of higher learning in the United States, including ivy-league, private, and state universities as well as liberal arts colleges and research institutions.
All five students received the English Teaching Assistantship Fulbright grant (ETA). They will be teaching English in Uruguay, Peru, South Africa, Malaysia, and Indonesia in 2017-2018.
Established by the United States Congress in 1946, the Fulbright Program is the largest international exchange program in the country, offering opportunities for students, teachers, scholars, and professionals to study, teach, lecture, and conduct research in more than 155 countries worldwide. Sponsored by the United States Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Fulbright program selects participants on the basis of academic merit and leadership potential.
