U.S. Fulbright programs offer unique international opportunities with a growing number in social work. We will share the range of programs offered, application strategies, and provide examples from Fulbright alumni. Individuals with disabilities are valued and encouraged to apply; we will discuss accommodation policies and planning.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:

1. Expand knowledge about Fulbright opportunities for social worker educators and practitioners.
2. Enhance strategies for successful application and engagement.
3. Foster consideration of impacts of international collaboration in host and home institutions and understand Fulbright policies and efforts for disabilities and individual-specific disability information regarding countries and program opportunities.
