Whats Fulbright?
“Fulbright” is an international grant. The American government gives the grant to students and scholars so that people living in different countries may understand one-another. Students must conduct a project—for example, my project is to study Kyrgyz dialects. If an American scholar receives the grant, they teach in another country. There’s other variants of the grant: for example, students from countries besides America can receive the grant to study in America. You can read more about this. I mentioned that I must conduct a project, but I’m not required to give anything to the American government. My research is for myself—for example, in the future, I might write something on Kyrgyz dialects. The grant’s most important goal isn’t to complete a project, but instead to live in another country than one’s own, for you and the people living there to come to understand one-another, and to interact freely with local scholars.
