The Fulbright U.S. Student Program supports much more than academic research! Artists who are U.S. citizens, have fewer than seven years of professional experience, and have not yet earned a DMA or PhD can apply to pursue training or an independent artistic project in one of 140+ countries.

Join the National & International Scholarships Program and the Graduate College Office of External Fellowships for a workshop focused on Fulbright opportunities in: 

  • Architecture (building and landscape) 
  • Creative Writing (fiction, non-fiction, playwriting, poetry, and screenwriting) 
  • Music (composition, performance, and world music) 
  • Performing Arts (dance, performance art, and theater arts) 
  • Visual Arts (animation, photography, illustration, filmmaking, etc.)


Presenters will share insights into pursuing a Fulbright as an artist and preparing a strong application. Topics include identifying a strong affiliation, meeting language expectations, assembling a compelling portfolio, and crafting persuasive narrative statements.
