>>Dear Colleagues,
>>
>>The State Department in partnership with MTV-U is offering Fulbright 
>>fellowships for junior scholars who are US citizens and who are working in 
>>the area of 'culture and music.' In particular the program seeks to fund 
>>projects that use the "power of music as a global force for mutual 
>>understanding." The fellowship has only just been announced and has a very 
>>short deadline: applications are due March 29. I've pasted the call below 
>>and I've attached it as well.
>>
>>Best,

>>FULBRIGHT-MTVU FELLOWSHIPS
>>Deadline for applications: March 29, 2007
>>
>>About the Program
>>Fulbright-mtvU Fellowships, administered by the Institute of International 
>>Education, are for U.S. students to conduct research abroad for one 
>>academic year on study projects of their own design around an aspect of 
>>international musical culture.  For its pilot year (2007-2008), up to 4 
>>Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding U.S. students nationwide.  In 
>>addition to proposing unique projects on “the power of music” as a global 
>>force for mutual understanding, applicants must submit an outreach plan 
>>describing how they intend to share their activities with their peers 
>>during their Fulbright year.
>>
>>Eligibility
>>Applicants must be U.S. citizens at the time of application.  Applicants 
>>must have completed a bachelor’s degree by the beginning date of the 
>>award; in the performing arts, four years of professional experience may 
>>substitute for the degree.  Preference will be given to recent 
>>college/university graduates.  Applicants must apply to conduct their 
>>project in a country where there is an active U.S. Fulbright Student 
>>Program, as listed on us.fulbrightonline.org. Applicants must meet all 
>>potential host country requirements, including those related to language 
>>and program start dates.  Applications are encouraged for all world 
>>regions.
>>
>>Eligible Fields of Study:
>>Applicants should submit proposals around an aspect of international 
>>contemporary or popular music as a cultural force for expression. 
>>Preference will be given to creative projects that are conveyed in a 
>>dynamic fashion and that are accompanied by a feasible action plan to 
>>inform peer groups via mtvU’s various media platforms (broadcast, online 
>>and print) regarding the Fellow’s activities in the host country 
>>throughout the term of the grant. Applicants are encouraged to consider a 
>>range of documentary modes (e.g., blogs, vlogs, photo diaries, news 
>>segments) to share their experiences and findings. Applicants are also 
>>encouraged to consider all aspects of “the power of music” in developing 
>>their project proposals. Along with the study of music in a specific 
>>cultural context or ethnomusicology, proposals will be considered in other 
>>music-related fields including, for example, music and social activism; 
>>music in learning; music and the community, and musical performance.
>>
>>Award Benefits:
>>The fellowship will provide the following benefits:
>>Round-trip transportation to the host country
>>Maintenance for the academic year, based on living costs in the host 
>>country
>>Book and research allowances (Fellows whose projects require extensive 
>>research funding, materials, or equipment must obtain funding from other 
>>sources for such purposes.)
>>Supplemental health and accident insurance coverage
>>Foreign language or cultural orientation courses, where appropriate
>>Media resources (e.g., camera and Internet uplink for students to send 
>>dispatches to mtvU)
>>
>>Additional Information/Application Materials
>>In addition to the activities proposed for the Fellowship, Fellows may be 
>>asked to participate in special programs, conferences, and/or promotional 
>>activities developed or suggested by the U.S. Department of State, mtvU, 
>>the Institute of International Education, and/or Fulbright Commissions.
