I'd try to call a H&R Block or something of that sort. In my experience, taxes with the Fulbright can get rather messy... Because you're FBH, I don't think you would owe much of anything because you're technically in school/working towards a degree? Thus, I don't think the grant is taxable. I think the problem for FBers comes in when they're not enrolled in a University during the grant either at home or in their host country. That said, don't trust me on that. Call a tax person and ask them.

no one?

Thanks for the encouragement, Kuzotz!

thanks clover.

this is a great question! And, unfortunately, I don't have any answers, but I do have the same question. Anyone out there??

Hi friends!! Does any one know anything about the MA in International Performance Research (based at the University of Warwick)? The program is quite intriguing... best, Edie

does anyone have any thoughts about the availability of jobs for US citizens abroad as teachers in higher education? My big dream is to do a PhD in the states and then work in Central/Eastern Europe. Is this a naive fantasy or something that could be a reality? Any thoughts would be much appreciated! thanks!!

does any one have any insight into the availability of jobs for US citizens abroad as teachers? my big dream is to do a PhD in the states and then work abroad as a professor. Is this a naive idea or something that could be a reality? any thoughts would be much appreciated!

thank you for your thoughts! is the e-mail necessary for MA programs? or can I just go ahead and apply?

total newbie question: I'm planning on applying to MA/PhD programs this fall. Is now the time to start e-mailing professors about whether or not they'd like to work with me? What is this formality of applying to MA/PhD programs? Is this something applicants are expected to do? As in, I'm supposed to e-mail the professor(s) and introduce myself... ? What am I supposed to ask them/tell them? Just a bit confused about this... Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

ahhh... good thoughts. thank you!

That sounds like a great gig! Was there a specific reason you wanted to go abroad for your PhD?

I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this in... I'm an American thinking about doing a PhD program abroad and I'm wondering if anyone has any insights into the pros/cons there maybe be earning a PhD in a foreign country and in obtaining a job if one has a degree from a European university versus a degree from an American university if I hope to work in the US. Thanks for any help in advance! cheers.

I got the Fulbright! Good luck to those who are still waiting!
