Fulbright Week
In March every year, NC State’s Office of Global Engagement, Office for Faculty Excellence, and the University Fellowships Office will team up to host an informative and engaging Fulbright Week, highlighting the various programs supported through the prestigious Fulbright program.
Led by the United States government, Fulbright is an academic cultural exchange program for American students to study, teach, or pursue important research and professional projects in the United States and in more than 160 partner countries worldwide over the course of an academic year.
It is a life-changing experience that creates impact through lasting connections, collaborations, and mutual understanding that helps nations and people solve pressing problems while working together toward common goals. NC State was listed as a Top Producing Institution, recognized for having the highest number of accepted applicants to the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Programs.
