富布赖特项目

Fulbright is the largest international exchange program funded by the U.S. Department of State. It offers opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools worldwide.

Since 2004, five Covenant graduates have received research grants from the Fulbright Program:

• Ben Borger ’04 majored in history and community development, and received a Fulbright to the Philippines.
• Jonathan Wilson ’06 majored in community development, and received a Fulbright/Fogarty to South Africa.
• Gabi Van Schoyck ’08 majored in community development, and received a Fulbright to Hong Kong.
• 利兹·塔伯根08年主修艺术并获得了赴冰岛的富布赖特奖学金。
• Seth Morgan ’09 majored in 英语 and community development and received a Fulbright to Tajikistan.

The work done on these grants has included teaching 英语 as a second language, creating mixed-media artwork, and performing HIV-AIDS research.

In addition to those graduates, a number of Covenant’s faculty are Fulbright alumni as well: Dr. Richard Follett (history), Dr. Tom Neiles (world languages) and Dr. Russell Mask (community development). Mask博士也是圣约人的富布赖特项目顾问。 “富布赖特奖学金竞争非常激烈，”他说。 "Every person that gets a Fulbright is supposed to be kind of an ambassador. 他们已经证明了他们关心别人。”

Dr. Mask welcomes Covenant students from every major to 联系他 about applying for a Fulbright grant.
