and colleagues, and have your students join us for the professional and
personal experience of a lifetime.

*Undergraduate Students: **Killam Fellowships Program*
<http://www.killamfellowships.com>
Fulbright Canada offers awards to undergraduate students under the auspices
of the Killam Fellowships Program. This award is structurally similar to
the Fulbright program as it allows Canadian undergraduate students to spend
one semester in the United States. The award is valued at $5,000, includes
a Fall Orientation in Ottawa and Spring Seminar in Washington, D.C., and
the opportunity to compete for an in-country mobility grant of up to $800.
This competition is currently closed, but I will send more information
about it when it opens in September 2014. Awards can be taken up in
September 2015 or January 2016.

*Testimonials:*

*Amanda Pappin*

*2013-2014 Canadian Fulbright student at Yale University*

“My experience as a Fulbrighter has been pivotal to my personal life, my
research, and my career plans. I feel that, given the interdisciplinary
nature of my work, this experience offered me the kind of perspective and
training that I could not have gained from my home institution. For this, I
am very thankful to Fulbright Canada for selecting me to receive this
award. I was so excited at the thought of applying to the program. Now, I
am even more excited about where it has brought me.”
