Fully Funded Study Abroad: My Fulbright Experience as an Asian American: Application Tips!

Описание: What if one year abroad could change your life—and someone else’s—forever?

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the Fulbright Program, one of the most prestigious international exchange opportunities available to students. But we’re not just talking logistics.

You’ll hear real stories from real people: an American Fulbright grantee teaching in rural Thailand, and a representative from Fulbright Lotus, a program that helps underrepresented students thrive during their time abroad.

You’ll learn what it really takes to apply, what daily life as a Fulbrighter looks like, and how your identity can be your strength—not your barrier.

Whether you’re AAPI, a first-gen student, or simply curious about teaching or studying abroad, this episode is for you.

Subscribe and stick around until the end to discover how Fulbright might be your ticket to the world—and to a more global version of yourself.
