Why Fulbright?
Texas State University is one of the most Fulbright supportive institutions in the United States. University policies encourage and facilitate part-time faculty, administrators, and full-time faculty should they be awarded a Fulbright grant to work abroad. Outside of a Fulbright salary and stipend, all awardees receive at least 50 percent of their salary from Texas State without requiring the use of developmental leave eligibility. Through the Fulbright Program, spouses/partners, children, and the children’s schooling can be covered expenses. If you are curious about Fulbright, interested in teaching and/or researching abroad, or considering taking your family on a cultural immersion experience, then contact Dr. Eric Leake. Fulbright could be the program for you.
Please see Texas State University’s Academic Affairs Policy and Procedure Statement 7.17 for more information.
The Fulbright Scholars Program has published Ten Myths About Fulbright to clarify issues and address typical concerns about the Fulbright Programs.
"....Man's struggle to be rational about himself, about his relationship to his own society and to other peoples and nations involves a constant search for understanding among all peoples and all cultures--a search that can only be effective when learning is pursued on a worldwide basis." Senator J. William Fulbright
