We are currently accepting applications for the 2015-2016 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program core competition, but the *application **deadline of* *August 1st* is quickly approaching.
There are a number of exciting Fulbright U.S. Scholar grant opportunities in Environmental Science. Fulbright Scholars in this field seek to understand complex relationships between human communities and the natural world, and the range of awards attracts applicants from diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Program alumni have approached environmental issues through the lens of biology, economics, engineering, history, politics, public health, and sociology.
