Program Highlights

Undergraduate seminar series

The Fulbright Center organized a series of 10 successful information sessions on undergraduate study in the US at various locations in the Netherlands. The events were extensively advertised among 700 high schools and in the media, and attracted 400 high school students interested in US study opportunities. From these sessions we recruited over 60% of our participants that enrolled in our undergraduate Campus Scholarship Program.

Sessions on graduate study and Fulbright scholarship

The Fulbright Center organized a number of recruitment and information events for students interested in pursuing a graduate study in the US and in applying for a Fulbright scholarship. We reached an audience of hundreds of Dutch students.

Internship Program and Senior Vocational Schools

The educational adviser has set up an Internship Program that attracts an increasing number of participants. The Internship Program also actively recruits students enrolled in the senior vocational schools, a very large market in the Netherlands.
