Does the Fulbright apply to students attending an MLIS program as well?

You can email me at Debbie.chavez@librariesfortheworld.org if you're interested in partnering on a project

Consider NOT working with a Christian-only organization working on other countries to avoid spreading hegemony and exclusion. there are groups that are open to everyone.

will definitely look at some opportunities virtually, thank you for sharing tour experiences.

ALA group great way to get involved and learn more

For school librarians, there's a Facebook group - International School Library Connection. If you're looking to work in school libraries overseas, it's a great networking group.

@Martha, you would be eligible to apply for a Fulbright after obtaining your MLIS. Applying for a Fulbright Scholar or Specialist generally requires at least 5 years of experience. There are Fulbright student scholar opportunities for recent grads though.

Thank you so much; I do have the five years experience, so that is something to look for! I appreciate your help.
