  5. “Real” Jobs?? • Idealist.org • intljobs.org • Internships / Volunteer • Some will pay your expenses (no income or costs), but for some YOU have to pay to work! • World Teach.org • Summer or year-long jobs abroad • Receive stipend to cover costs, but not a salary Work Abroad (Cont’d) Many international jobs cover your housing, food, airfare, insurance, etc.!

  6. Fulbright Scholarships: • Fulbright applications for 2015 are being accepted through August 1: depending on the type of scholarship • Sponsored by U.S. State Department • Worldwide opportunities • Work with NGOs, English Teaching, research projects, other jobs for a year (or so…) • Looks GREAT on resume or grad school application!!! Scholarships http://www.cies.org/Fulbright_programs.htm

  7. “Normal people” win Fulbrights! • Giselle Conde (‘12) • Gina Malagold (‘11) • Maria Boland (’10) • All were awarded a Fulbright! • The U.S. Gov’t is paying them to do research / teach in many countries • Fulbright scholars tend to receive many additional awards and land jobs in their field!

  8. Graduate School… Overseas! • Just like applying to grad school here in the U.S.; you can apply to graduate school anywhere in the world! • Most international applications are due toward the end of summer / late fall • i.e. for grad school in Fall of 2015, you’d want to start looking at deadlines now, and probably apply before the end of the year, depending on the university.

  9. …but whatever it is you do: Have a great(geographic?)summer!!!
