Seminar on “Fulbright & UGRAD Global Exchange

Program”

The ‘Department of English’ organized a one-day
seminar on the “Fulbright & UGRAD Global
Exchange Program” on April 21, 2022. The
Fulbright Programme is one of a number of
American cultural exchange initiatives with the aim
of enhancing cross-cultural understanding, cultural
diplomacy, and intercultural competency between
Americans and citizens of other nations through the
interchange of people, ideas, and expertise.
Through the programme, Americans who have
successfully competed for the opportunity to do so,
including students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists, and artists, may be awarded scholarships or grants to study,
teach, conduct research, or use their artistic talents abroad. Likewise, citizens of other nations may qualify to do the same
in the United States.

The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (also known as the Global UGRAD Program) provides one semester
scholarships to outstanding undergraduate students from around the world for non-degree full-time study combined with
community service, professional development, and cultural enrichment. (Source: www.exchanges.state.gov)
