Hey. A greeting to all our listeners of or Rosario Radio I am Karen
Garcia and today at Podcast Uere, we present full Bright scholarships sowing opportunities.
We have a very special guest, Ana María Carvajal, who will tell us
what these scholarships are and for those who do not know full Bright Colombia.
It is the Commission for Educational Exchange between the United States and Colombia that supports
students who claim to expand their master' s and doctorate skills. We will
be hearing more details with Ana María, educational advisor at the full Bray Colombia
Commission. Hello Maria, how are you, Hello Karen, how about Good
morning, Ana María, before I would like to thank you for accepting this
space in which we have many doubts in front of these full Bright scholarships in
the United States then expand the information of what is this organization Full Brat Colombia.
Or of course they are, thank you so much for this space.
I start by telling you a little bit that it' s full Bright.
Full Brat is a program that depends on the United States Department of State and
is today the main academic exchange program between the United States and the rest of
the world. It is a program that emerges after the Second World War with
the purpose of strengthening academic, educational scientists links between the United States and other
countries. Today full Bright has a presence in more than one hundred and sixty
countries around the world. In Colombia it exists more than sixty- seven years
ago and every year the full Braak program in Colombia opens a call for postgraduate
scholarships. Let' s just say we' re being asked what Fullbak does,
and the answer is the Full Bate program. What it does is offer
scholarships that try to strengthen the links that exist between the academic and scientific community
of the United States and Colombia. How this initiative is born and support people
to study a graduate degree in the United States. Yes, well, let
' s say that the Folbrate program tries to do this all over the world
and it' s very interesting because just being able to be part of the
full community means meeting people from all over the world who gather in the United
States to carry out either graduate studies or even teaching research stays. But post
- graduate scholarships specifically. What they are looking for is that professionals from all
regions of Colombia, from all the populations that make up our country, have
the opportunity to travel to the United States and advance there their master' s
and doctoral studies in the well- known universities, in the accredited universities.
And let' s say that the process that is done through our program is
that full Blouse launches an annual call and in that period when the call is
open, is that we receive the applications of the people interested in presenting themselves,
to win the BECA and thus start their graduate studies in the United States.
Perfect ana. We understand that full Bright betas have a portfolio for their
application, which are BECCA credit forgivable full Bright. My science grants credit for
full Bright for communities of African descent and G William full Bright betas. You
could expand each of these categories. Of course I do. That' s
a question you often ask us if there' s a full Brat BECA and
the answers are no full Baide scholarship. There are several Fulgray scholarship programs,
each with different quotas. So let' s start with the Bennis Forgivable Science
Grant, which is the biggest program we' re offering this year, with
forty places for people interested in advancing doctoral studies at universities in the United States
for all people who either have a master' s degree or have two years
of research. Let' s say they don' t have a master'
s degree, but they can certify they have two years of research. From
research experience, these people could apply and apply for this scholarship that will allow
them to do their doctoral studies at universities in the United States. The other
is the condon talk credit grant for communities of African descent, and that is
a program that is being offered to all people in Colombia who belong to the
Community, to the Black Nart, Pro- Colombian, Raisal and Palenqueras communities.
These people can apply for this program and it is to do aberto master
' s studies in all areas of knowledge. The last is the J William
Fullbreak scholarship, which is a scholarship being offered this year. It is also
open to all areas of knowledge. It is being offered to all people,
regardless of whether they belong to ethnic or non- ethnic comforts, or minority
or not. For all people in the country who are willing to do their
master' s degree at the university in the United States, they can apply
for the Jar William Full Brad scholarship. Those are the three programs we are
offering for this year. What has been the scope of Full Bright scholarships,
how many people have benefited and in what areas of knowledge. That' s
a big question. The programme has benefited more than five hundred people since its
existence in Colombia. The vast majority of these people have been graduate students,
that is, Colombians and Colombians who travel to the United States to do their
master' s degrees or doctorates. Scholarships have traditionally been open to all areas
of knowledge. Let' s say with a few exceptions. There are times
there are scholarships specifically for artists, or there are scholarships specifically for some work,
on some particular subject, and that will depend on the characteristics of the
scholarship that opens in a portfolio of a given year. But in general,
the scholarships have covered all areas of knowledge and yes, that I can say,
five four hundred people have been beneficiaries of the Fullrate scholarships in Colombia.
Well, Ana Maria, and for all those people and students who are listening
to us and who are interested in participating in how the scholarship application is made,
then the most important thing is that they enter our website, which is
full Bright EUC full Baks writes with just one l fulbright. They Google us
as fullver. Colombia will give you the result of our website. On our
website they must enter a tab called scholarships and there they will go for each
of the options until they manage to find the menu with the three scholarships that
we talked about a while ago, which are the portfolio of bejas for this
year. There you will find on the website a document that is vital,
central to the application, which is called the terms of reference. And that
document is vital because there you will find all the specific requirements, the step
by step of how to apply each of the detailed benefits offered by begas,
etc. Then it is very important if you are interested and interested in applying
to the call that you read that document of the terms of reference, where
you will be able to find with all the details, all the minuteness of
what you need to do in order to be able to submit to the call.
And what has been the impact of full Bright scholarships in Colombia? Yes,
it is a subject on which we have been working in recent years and
which we want to collect more and more information. But the fundamental purpose of
the full Bright program has been to be able to identify leaders people who are
highly committed to the community and society, people who want to contribute in some
way to trying to solve some of the many problems we have in our country.
And in that sense, the scholarships have been offered just for the poor
people who have shown a higher commitment to society, a greater attempt to positively
impact the country. Then we have full brighers who have done very impressive things
the truth and very positive for the country. I believe that one of the
great benefits of applying to FullBread grants is precisely that of being able to connect
with a community of people who have been working hard, from the education sector,
from the public sector, from the private sector, from different fields,
have been working hard to try to contribute to society. Then we hope to
continue doing this for many years. We hope that our full briders of the
past, present and future will be people who continue to work hard to make
the world a little better. Endiza Andana Maria have social networks for one to
learn about the new full Bright scholarships. Of course I do. They find
us on all social networks, like Fullbreak Colombia. They find us on Facebook,
on Instagram, on linktein on what was once called Twitter and now it
' s called ex On the very important YouTube channel they' re going to
find a lot of tutorial videos that are going to be very useful to put
together their app. Videos on how to make a living sheet in English,
is how to write some essays that we ask for, which are part of
the requirements for scholarship calls, that I can prepare the English exam that they
ask for for the Fulbray scholarship call. So it' s very important that
you explore all the materials we have on the YouTube channel and very important also
