If you are exploring your post-graduation options and are interested in going abroad – whether to pursue graduate study, teach English, conduct research, or practice your creative or performing arts overseas – consider the Fulbright US Student Program (FUSP)!
The Fulbright US Student Program (FUSP) is for UW-Madison students, alumni, and staff interested in exploring a full range of options abroad! FUSP is one of the most prestigious and accessible ways to build on your Wisconsin experience and pursue new opportunities overseas – the three basic requirements to apply are that you’re a US citizen, have your bachelor’s degree in hand by the time you would take up the award (fall 2027) and not have your PhD in hand at the time you apply (October 2026).
We have a two information sessions scheduled in June for our UW-Madison community:

In addition, we will be offering an introductory application walk-through and additional application workshops in July & August. If interested in those, please take a few moments to indicate your interest and availability to participate in those sessions at https://go.wisc.edu/fuspworkshop.
If you can’t make the above, please let us know you’re interested in learning more at https://go.wisc.edu/fulbrightinterest and we will keep you updated on additional programming throughout the summer.
I’m also happy to answer questions by email or you can set up an individual meeting to discuss specific interests and goals. Book an advising appointment for the day, time, and mode that works best for you through Starfish (for current students) or Calendly (for all others). And, of course, you’re welcome to email me at uwfulbright@wisc.edu with any questions.
Finally, we offer weekly virtual & in-person drop-in advising throughout the year for all Fulbright-related issues, questions, or exploration on Wednesdays, 11:00am-1:00pm via Zoom at https://go.wisc.edu/FulbrightDropIn and in-person in 256 Bascom Hall.
