<p>I couldn't decide if I should put this in scholarships or here in graduate school, clearly I chose the latter. Anyways, I was just looking for some general information on this program. I shall be a sophomore this fall and a junior this spring at my undergrad (3.9 GPA, history major, Spanish minor, Canadian studies minor; History club, mentor, RA) and was looking into pursuing a fullbright scholarship for either a fellowship in Ireland or Canada; what exactly I'd be researching, I don't know but both countries intrigue me. I suppose in Ireland it'd be related to immigration to America and in Canada more about colonial history/independence. I have time for this, anyways. I understand I have to choose a university and get accepted into that university as well. I guess I'm just seeking some input and any help or what have you from anyone. Thank you!</p>
<p>More info:
I was a first year student last year, who through AP credits was (and still am) significantly ahead. I have taken one 300-level class and one 400-level class in History and got an A in both (ironically I got an A- in a 100-level lol), I really think I am good at what I love.</p>
<p>Best source of info is your college, maybe the career planning folks can steer you to their folks who handle this. Because your school will need to support your application. If they have experience with this, they will help you with proposals and etc.

The link will help you get your bearings on types of grants; you have to dig for more. The issue is, I don’t think there is one comprehensive A-Z source of info; they release all sorts of details only as you move through the process. See if you can find the info on how many apply to various countries, for what sorts of grants and how many slots there are. My dau has a grant for this fall. What is your college?</p>
<p>Thanks for the response! I’ve done a bit of research and know some basic things about how many apply to which countries- a lot to Ireland, average to Canada. I attend the University of Maine at Orono. Not the greatest academic reputation, but strong and particularly strong in Canadian studies. I’d assume they’ve gone through the process, but I’m unaware if a Blackbear has won a scholarship before.</p>
<p>I was surprised to see 2013-14 is 82 to Ire for 3 slots, 97 to Canada, but 22 projected. Surprised at that large number placed in Canada. </p>
<p>I see faculty; and a PhD student (maritime) to NS for 2011-12, I think. Go for it. DH did it as a PhD student, D will be an ETA. Other than the dribble of public info, it is very well run.</p>
