Fulbright

The Fulbright is the most prestigious scholarship offered by the U.S. Government.    The Fulbright U.S. Student Program awards grants for graduate study and research abroad.  It is possible to apply for a grant as a current law student as well as for post-graduate study and we strongly encourage you to consider this opportunity.  We are delighted that two recent Pace Law graduates, Ira Seligman (JD ’10) and Elaine Hsiao (JD ’09, LLM ’10) were awarded Fulbright Grants for the 2010-2011 academic year.  Ira traveled to Norway to study sustainable fishing policy while Elaine traveled to Uganda to conduct research on trans-boundary peace parks.  Other recent awardees include Jorge Fiquerao (JD ‘08) who studied forest conversation in India, and Nicole Harkin (JD ’03) who studied land-use law in Germany.  Pace Law School Professors David Cassuto, Linda Fentiman, John Nolon and Alexander Greenawalt are all prior recipients of Fulbright Grants.  This year’s recipients are Professors Ann Bartow (China) and Darren Rosenblum (France).  Read more about this year's Fulbright Faculty Scholars.

The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), 809 United Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017.  Established in 1946, the Fulbright Program aims to increase mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and other countries, through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills.  The U.S. Student Program is designed to give recent B.S./B.A. graduates, masters and doctoral candidates, (which includes law students) and developing professionals and artists, opportunities for international experience, personal enrichment and an open exchange of ideas with citizens of other nations. For an overview of the Fulbright Program in its entirety, including its history, mission and accomplishments, please refer to the Program’s website at www.fulbrightonline.org
