This Monday, May 29, one half of the FEAC-EducationUSA advising team was present in Suceava for a series of outreach presentations, highlighting teaching and research opportunities in the United States via the Fulbright Awards, as well as independent study opportunities at an undergraduate or graduate level.
In the first half of the day, the FEAC adviser met with high schoolers interested in studying in the U.S., at two top high schools in Suceava, “Petru Rareş” National College and “Ştefan cel Mare” National College. An overall audience of roughly 90 students – mainly 10th and 11th graders - attended the two presentations, which highlighted the distinguishing traits of the U.S. higher education system and provided students with advice on how to best approach the application process, so as to enhance their chances of getting financial aid. Several voiced an interest in the U.S. as a study destination and were happy to learn they can keep in touch with the FEAC-EducationUSA team via online advising.
The second presentation of the day, kindly hosted and co-organized by the “Ştefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, was attended by researchers and academics keen to learn more about the two types of post-doctoral Fulbright Awards for Romanian citizens – the Fulbright Senior Award and the Fulbright-RAF Scholar Award -, for which this year’s competition is in progress, as well as undergraduate students interested in graduate study opportunities in the U.S.

Many thanks to Professor Gabriela Prelipcean, Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs, “Ştefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, and Fulbright Alumna, as well as the teachers from the two schools, Laura Salciuc - “Petru Rareş” National College and, respectively, Elia Bucaciuc – “Ştefan cel Mare” National College, who kindly lent their support in organizing and promoting the events.
