Fulbright Grant -- The Process Begins NOW
Though next year's Fulbright applications are not due until October, if you are interested in applying, you should begin thinking about your application NOW! The internal deadline for applications to be submitted here on campus is SEPTEMBER 29, which is quickly approaching, especially considering the amount of work, preparation, revision, and thought that is required for the application process.
Fulbright grants are made to students and other citizens for a variety of educational activities, primarily university lecturing, advanced research, graduate study and teaching in elementary and secondary schools. The Fulbright Scholar Program sends hundreds of grantees abroad each year to lecture and conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. Through the program, you can be a teaching assistant, conduct overseas research, or many other enriching possibilities.
Now is time to be meeting with Dixie Shafer, director of the URGO program. She can help you begin your application process and answer any questions you may have along the way.
There is a great deal of thought and work that goes into these applications, so you should begin looking into the application process now. For more information, visit the Fulbright website at: http://www.cies.org/us_scholars/.
Or you can visit Augsburg's scholarship information page at: http://www.augsburg.edu/urgo/scholarship.html and click the Fulbright link.
If you have any questions about the Fulbright scholarship, or any other scholarships or fellowships, contact Dixie Shafer at shafer@augsburg.edu.

Looking for Scrap Wood/Rods
The Campus Kitchens Garden needs your help! Our tomato plants are tipping over, despite the cages they are in. We are looking for a kind donation of scrap wood or metal/plastic rods that can be used to anchor the cages. Scrap wood should be 1" x 1.5" or smaller. All lengths preferably 4-6 ft. tall. A kind donation of a dozen such items or more would be fantastic! Donations may be placed by the shed in the Augsburg Community Garden.
(Shameless plug: You could go look at the beautiful garden after you drop off your donation.)
