My Fulbright grant has truly transformed both my professional and personal life. As I begin my second semester, I can already see how many doors it has opened. If you’re considering pursuing a graduate or post-graduate degree in the US, I highly recommend applying for the Fulbright Program—it offers incredible opportunities to connect with people both within the program and across the US.
