Nominate a CCU Student to be mentored for a Fulbright Grant!
The CCU Fulbright Council will support advising for CCU students interested in applying for a Fulbright grant. Each spring we will send out a call for nominations and reach out to those students to share the encouragement and nomination of the CCU community member who nominated them, and we will also provide training and information to each to support their application.
