April 17, 2008
The U.S. Embassy in Iraq has announced the 2009 Fulbright Scholarship competition which enables outstanding Iraqi scholars to pursue graduate-level academic programs in the U.S., particularly in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Participation in the Fulbright program will enable young Iraqis to enhance their leadership skills and to develop a personal understanding of life in the U.S. Returning to Iraq at the conclusion of their U.S. program, Fulbright scholars will be better equipped for productive careers in their chosen fields.
The binational Fulbright Selection Committee at the U.S. Embassy spares no efforts to select a slate of candidates from a variety of academic fields who collectively represent the social, political and cultural diversity of Iraq.
The application deadline is May 30, 2008. For details on the Fulbright program, including requirements for candidates and the review process, please visit:
