“The goal of the Fulbright exchange program is … to direct the enormous power of human knowledge …
J. William Fulbright
and expand the boundaries of human wisdom, empathy, and perception”
The Killam Fellowships Program was definitely a life changing experience for me. It has provided me with an outstanding educational experience, which has led me to grow and learn more in this short amount of time than in the culmination of my undergraduate degree. Through this opportunity I have become a part of a network of incredible individuals and lifelong friends.
Elli Hanson, Canadian Killam Student
My Fulbright Canada experience has been life changing! The exchange itself is far more powerful than the confines of the project. The learning component is multifaceted, acquiring new academic skills while navigating a new environment and culture, has been invaluable to me.
Jared Sexton, American Fulbright Scholar
My Fulbright Canada experience has played a transfomative role in my life. I have developed lasting working relationships with colleagues at my host institution and neighboring universities, and have been exposed to new areas of research. As a result, my approach to teaching and research has been invaluably altered.
Jared Sexton, American Fulbright Scholar
Fulbright Canada is an excellent opportunity to pursue unique academic interests while also enjoying the thrilling experience of living abroad. The inspiration that I took from Montreal's history, culture, and architecture were invaluable to my research. My time spent in Canada was truly an unforgettable experience.
Jane Harbison, American Fulbright Student
Very rarely does a person get an opportunity that will change the course of their life the way that Fulbright Canada does. It opens up a path that helps propel one's personal growth by being immersed in a new setting and being exposed to great minds. It helps build future leaders, and sustains, strengthens, and broadens the already strong relationship between Canada and the United States.
Fadi Masoud, Canadian Fulbright Student
My Fulbright Canada experience was not only transformative for me, but also for my family. My two children, aged 10 and 13, attended French language schools, and quickly adapted to the the new curriculum. Professionally, I learned a great deal about how my field of early American history and literature is viewed so differently in Quebec
Gordon Sayre, Fulbright Scholar
My Fulbright Canada experience has been life changing! The exchange itself is far more powerful than the confines of the project. The learning component is multifaceted, acquiring new academic skills while navigating a new environment and culture, has been invaluable to me.
Catherine Kreatsoulas, Canadian Fulbright Student
My Fulbright Canada experience proved to be a pivotal moment in my life. This journey has been nothing short of a blessing. It has enhanced my outlook on international collaboration, and has provided me with an invaluable network, and lifelong friendships.
