FULBRIGHT-MTVU AWARDS FOR 2007-2008 - DEADLINE: MARCH 29, 2007



On behalf of the U.S. Department of State and mtvU, I am pleased to announce a new U.S .  Fulbright Student Program opportunity for the 2007-2008 academic year. The Fulbright-mtvU award, administered by the Institute of International Education, will award up to four grants for unique projects on *the power of music* as a global force for mutual understanding around an aspect of international contemporary or popular

music.



The Fulbright Program is the world-renowned, flagship international educational program supported by the people of the United States and people in partner countries around the world and sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. The Fulbright Program has provided more than

279,000 participants with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, to exchange ideas and to contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.  mtvU is an on-air, online, wireless and on campus network for the college audience.  Broadcasting via satellite 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to over seven million students on more than 740 campuses, mtvU is the largest and most comprehensive multi-platform channel for college students.



Along with the study of music in a specific cultural context or ethnomusicology, proposals will also be considered in other music-related fields including, for example, music and social activism; music in learning; music and the community and musical performance. Applicants must apply to a country where there is an active U.S. Fulbright Student Program and meet all potential host country requirements, including those related to language and program start dates. 



Applications for all world regions are encouraged. In addition to the application, all candidates must also submit an outreach plan describing how they intend to share activities with their peers during their Fulbright year abroad through mtvU print, broadcast and/or online mediums.  Complete program and application information and outreach forms can be accessed from the Fulbright-mtvU link on our website homepage at www.fulbrightonline.org/us



The application deadline is March 29, 2007. If you or your students have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
