Fulbright Diversity Initiative: US summer study prorgram for students with migration background

"For students with a migration background, we offer a 4-week summer study program, which is carried out on behalf of the Fulbright Commission by Trinity University in San Antonio in the state of Texas. The short study program offers the opportunity to get to know the culture of undergraduate studies at a U.S. university as well as American society and its way of life. The Fulbright Commission provides a scholarship for participation in the program.

The short program at Trinity University is modeled on the typical learning content of a broad-based American undergraduate program. Program participants are introduced to life and study at an American campus university, attend courses, seminars, and workshops on U.S. history, politics, society, and the educational system, and receive up-to-date insights into social discourses on topics such as religion and diversity, among others, through Guest Lectures. Participants have access to the university's libraries and computer labs and to most of the sports and recreational facilities, movie theaters, and cafeterias found on the campus of a typical American university. An extensive excursion and activities program rounds out the program. Participants will be housed directly on campus and will share housing with an American student.

The summer study program is designed to develop the English language, rhetorical and work skills of the program participants, to enhance their soft skills and to give them an important knowledge advantage for their further education. It is also intended to encourage them to supplement their university studies at a later date with a longer period of study or internship in the USA."

The program runs from August 17 to September 16, 2023.

Application deadlines: The call for applications for the 2024 program year is expected to take place in January 2024.
