Dear colleagues,

 

This week the Office of National Scholarships & Fellowships (ONSF) will host several information sessions and workshops to complement 2018 Research Week (see ONSF events schedule below). The biggest event is at 3:00pm this Wednesday, April 18 in Hodges 213, for the 2018 UT FULBRIGHT KICK-OFF. This session is appropriate for any UT student—from 1st- and 2nd-years, to juniors, graduating seniors, and graduate students—interested in learning more about the Fulbright (it’s never too early and rarely too late). Please encourage your students to attend and circulate this message widely! In addition, we welcome students referrals to ONSF from faculty and staff here: https://onsf.utk.edu/refer-a-student-to-onsf/

 

Events are noted below and on our homepage; we will update this page with additional events between now and finals: https://onsf.utk.edu/ Students are free to come and go as their schedules permit. (Faculty and staff are welcome to attend any/all sessions.) ONSF staff will also be available to talk with students up to 30 minutes before and after each event.
