You may submit your Fulbright US Student Program essay drafts for Fulbright Program Advisor review/feedback here between now and August 3. You may make multiple submissions.
Prepare your essay in a separate document, and convert to PDF format before uploading. You may include both your Statement of Grant Purpose and the Short Answer Responses (Flexibility and Adaptability; Community Engagement; Impact of Fulbright) in the same document, but be sure to label each essay clearly. For guidelines and prompts for each essay and short answer, please see the Fulbright US Student Program national website in the Application Components section (under the Applicants tab) and look for the page for your award type (Study/Research Academic for independent research and graduate study; Study/Research Creative and Performing Arts, or English Teaching Assistant). On the application component page of your award, look under the sections for Statement of Grant Purpose and Short Answers: Fulfilling the Fulbright Mission for essay requirements and prompts for each award type.
To receive feedback from a Fulbright Program Advisor through August 1, submit your draft in the Canvas assignment, and then make an appointment with a Fulbright Program Advisor. Please give at least 2 business days to review your draft prior to the meeting, and mention in your Advising Notes that you have uploaded your essay draft on Canvas when you make the appointment.
After August 3, Fulbright Program Advisors will read and review essays submitted and will provide written feedback through Canvas by August 18.

Study Abroad in Germany - Winter 2027 in Tübingen: Tuesday, September 15 (Application Deadline)
The Tübingen program, which is organized through the Center for Global and Intercultural Studies (CGIS), takes place in the Winter term, and it is intended for students who have completed at least German 221/231 by the end of the Fall 2026 term. The German Department strongly recommends that you precede your stay in Tübingen by attending one or two three-week sessions at the Goethe Institut.
This Goethe Institut segment is not part of the CGIS program itself. Please talk with Mary or me about the Goethe segment.
The CGIS portion in Tübingen will start early in March with a mandatory 'Startkurs' (up to 6 credits). While you will be enrolled for the Winter 2027 term at the University of Michigan, you will then take classes during the 'Sommersemester' at the Universität Tübingen (mid April - late July). You will earn 15-18 credits for Winter 2027: the courses that you take in Tübingen can be language courses for international students or regular university courses.
Various university courses outside the English Department are taught in English. Tübingen credits can be used to satisfy degree requirements for a German major or minor.

Study Abroad in Germany - Social Sciences and Humanities in Berlin (Winter 2027): Tuesday, September 15 (Application Deadline)
This English-taught IES program is designed for students without a German language background who are looking for an in-depth look at the culture and context of the metropolis of Berlin. German majors should consider the University of Michigan programs in Freiburg and Tübingen.

Wherever possible, courses take advantage of the city’s many historical, artistic, and cultural sites. A 4-credit German language course is required for beginning and intermediate students. On-site staff help the students integrate into life in Berlin. Learning is enhanced by an extended course-related trip to Vienna or Warsaw and various day trips to German cities. During free time, tour neighborhoods and visit museums to gain a better understanding of Germany’s complex history and culture.
Eligibility:
* Sophomore, Junior, or Senior standing
* Good academic standing
* Minimum 2.75 overall GPA
* No previous German language study is required
Academics:
Students must take 13-16 credit hours per semester. One German language course (4 credits) is required for beginning and intermediate students. All other courses are taught in English and worth 3 credits unless otherwise stated. Two week-long field trips will be included in the program, as well as day excursions that complement your learning in the classroom and contribute to a general knowledge of German culture and society.
Please see program website (IES) for details.
