Romanian Alumni Stories
I am very thankful and proud of my Fulbright Scholarship, this was the gateway for my first time in the United States of America and to gaining a fantastic insight into entrepreneurial culture. [...] I feel I have an improved mindset and plan to apply, shift and transfer some of this added value in the years to come in all my career projects.
"There are not enough words to express my ground-breaking experience in the US. I will be forever grateful for this amazing opportunity and I warmly recommend the Fulbright Program in its entirety as one of the best academic experiences possible."
Living and researching in the U.S. as a Fulbright scholar representing Romania is a life-changing experience, and I truly believe that any student, teacher or researcher should apply. This is an effective way we could use to bring about change in our academic system, both by enriching our education and by developing new educational and cultural relationships.
"Looking back, I realize that the goals, hopes and dreams I had at the beginning of my Fulbright journey were far more modest than what was fully offered to me. Not just from an academic point of view, but the travels that I’ve made, the professors and colleagues I have worked with, the people I met and the entire cultural experience of having lived in the United States for two years, have been an axial part of this experience."
"The experience as a Fulbrighter will define my approach in driving entrepreneurship development and has reinforced my knowledge and expertise to become a changemaker in my community."
"This cultural exchange is a story about our universal values unfolding from acts of random kindness and generosity to rich and thoughtful conversations with my academic peers. Each day I have the opportunity to learn about the broader meaning of the word education."
"As my U.S. experience is coming to an end, I started to wrap things up and to think about all the amazing adventures that I have encountered in the past couple of months. Beside finishing my doctoral thesis and writing research papers with colleagues from the University, I had the opportunity to meet extremely intelligent people and to make new connections. [...] Tasting the American student life would not have been possible without the Fulbright program and without the people that helped me to evolve both personally and professionally."
“The Fulbright experience meant a lot to me. I had the chance to learn what true music teaching means and, through research, to broaden my musical understanding getting to realize limitless perspectives of new music techniques.”
There are not enough words to express my unforgettable experience in the US. I will be forever grateful for this amazing opportunity, and I highly recommend to everybody to apply for the Fulbright scholarship. Living and studying in the U.S. is life-changing from all the possible points of view.
"The School of Science, Technology and Health, at Biola University has a strong community of researchers and everyone in the lab was very welcoming. Not only did I find a great research team, but more than that: I found mentors! [...] My Fulbright experience will definitely remain one of my life’s highlights."
