Fulbright student grants aim to increase mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchange while serving as a catalyst for long-term leadership development.

The U.S. Student Program awards approximately 1,000 grants annually and currently operates in over 140 countries worldwide. Fulbright full grants generally provide funding for round-trip travel, maintenance for one academic year, health and accident insurance and full or partial tuition, when appropriate. Fulbright travel-only grants are also available to limited countries.

The Fulbright program also provides teaching grants overseas to new graduates that are like typical Fulbright fellowships but require half-time English teaching in a wide variety of countries around the world. Applicants for “English Teaching Assistant” Fulbrights propose to spend the other half of their time learning about the country in which they are placed. These assignments require ability to teach English and work with secondary school students essential as assistants to regular local English faculty, and an outline of a subject of study.
 

Scholars will receive funding that is not already covered by other financial aid and the expected family contribution. Further support is provided to each scholar by engaging with them to ensure they have access to the resources and services they need, from their first to last day of classes, through graduation and the transition to their chosen careers.

The awards are named to honor former Senator George Mitchell's pivotal contribution to the Northern Ireland peace process. As such, we are seeking candidates who have achieved academic excellence, a sustained commitment to community and service, and a record of leadership in their fields.

Scholars receive support for one year of postgraduate study in any discipline offered at an institution of higher learning in Ireland. The Mitchell Scholarship Program provides tuition, housing, a living expense stipend that includes a travel stipend. Up to twelve scholarships are awarded each year.

The goals of the scholarship program are to foster and encourage excellence in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. Arising from this goal is the desire to protect U.S. leadership in science and technology by educating and training new generations equipped to meet ever-increasing challenges.

Promising candidates show intellectual intensity in these fields and have the potential for significant future contribution. Successful candidates have had the opportunity to participate in research or have demonstrated their intellectual curiosity in other meaningful ways, such as internships or lab assistantships.

The Foundation is supported by the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Fund, which has been established in the Treasury of the United States. Funding for awards and administrative expenses derives from interest on the Trust Fund, invested in U.S. securities.

This program provides college graduates the opportunity to work in Washington, DC, with one of twenty-seven participating public-interest organizations focusing on international security issues.

The program has awarded fellowships since its inception in 1987 and is offered twice yearly, in the spring and fall. It lasts from six to nine months and provides a stipend, health insurance, and travel costs to Washington. The Scoville Fellowship does not award grant or scholarship money to students.

Scoville Fellows may undertake a variety of activities, including research, writing, education, and advocacy in support of the goals of their host organization and may attend coalition meetings, policy briefings, and Congressional hearings. Fellows have written articles, blogs, fact sheets, letters to the editor, op-eds and reports, organized talks and conferences, and been interviewed as experts by the media.

Former Scoville Fellows work for U.S. and international NGOs, the Departments of State and Defense, members of Congress and academia, and attend graduate school in political science or international relations, following their fellowships.

Need-based international scholarships replace FAFSA funding for international students.

Supports students taking on an internship, community-based research activity, or a community service project that advances social justice. This award commemorates Trinity anthropology professor John Donahue’s lifelong commitment to social justice.

During the academic year, it allows students to earn money by dedicating their time to social justice work rather than taking on part-time paid work on campus or in private businesses. During the summer, it enables students to earn needed income and defray living expenses as they undertake community projects in lieu of finding summer jobs. This work can take place locally in San Antonio or elsewhere in the United States or abroad.

Awards are made three times throughout the year to provide students $1,500 to work 150 hours during fall or spring semester, or $4,000 to work full-time during the summer. Priority is given to students who have not previously been awarded this scholarship. Availability of this scholarship is dependent upon funding.

The Roman M. Lubetzky Endowment Fund for Kindness seeks to encourage the attributes of kindness and noble behavior as values among Trinity students.

The KINDness award is the most prestigious of the Student Leadership Awards. The endowment fund will provide a financial award to the recipient of the KINDness Award.
