Free International Travel!

in travel •  8 years ago  (edited)

I am a Fulbright alumnae. I came to the US to study politics and I have an MA degree in International Relations thanks to Fulbright. Probably the best experience (and achievement) of my life; an extraordinary academic experience and a life changing experience at the same time. I got to attend one of the best universities (and crazy expensive too) in the field, made friends from all over the world, and lived in the city I had always dreamt of. And I paid zero money for all of it - it was all paid for by Fulbright.

Which Fulbright program was that? And are you an Ambassador for the program in your home country now?

The Fulbright Student Program. The ambassador thing is sort of metaphorical; given that the program is based on exchange of students, they are considered to be 'cultural ambassadors' of their home countries in the host country, and then, upon graduation, they are expected to go back to their home countries with the academic experience gained, and try and implement such knowledge gained in another country.

And has it worked out that way in your case?
