Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program and Fulbright Brazil Program Launch Cooperative Effort; Year of Study in U.S. to Enhance Intellectual Exposure, Networking Potential.

(From AScribe)

NEW YORK -- The Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP) and the Brazil-United States Fulbright scholarship program are proud to announce a new cooperative initiative to offer selected Brazilian IFP Fellows the opportunity to study for one year in the United States with Fulbright program support while pursuing doctoral studies in Brazil sponsored by IFP.

The initiative aims to help improve diversity in the Brazil Fulbright Program, so that it can support candidates from groups that have traditionally lacked access to higher education. It will also enhance the intellectual exposure and expand the networking potential for Brazilian IFP Fellows who choose to study in their home country and build a new generation of Brazilian social justice leaders with a deeper knowledge of the United States.
