The Office of International Studies in Education offers several funded programs for doctoral students. In 2022-2023, the Fellowship to Enhance Global Understanding is being offered.
Fellowship to Enhance Global Understanding (FEGU)
In 2009, the College of Education created a Fellowship program to send a group of graduate students to China for three weeks of immersion in Chinese academic culture at the Southwest University, Beibei Chongqing. In 2011, the college formally expanded the FEGU program to include faculty-led programs to China, Botswana, and Vietnam. Since 2011, faculty have also led groups to Cyprus, Indonesia, Mexico, Cuba, and the Netherlands. The college provides support for the Fellowship programs in order to further our mission of promoting global perspectives on educational cultures, policies, and practices.
In the 2022-2023 academic year, the College is offering a fellowship program for doctoral students to be led by Professors Dorinda Carter Andrews and Terry Flennaugh. This fellowship will focus on race and colonization in global contexts, and its international travel portion will involve a study program in summer 2023 to South Africa.
Applications for this program are now closed. Please direct any questions to Dr. Julie Sinclair at sincla53@msu.edu or Christine Caster at caster@msu.edu.
Global Curriculum Fellowship (GCF)
This funded fellowship provides an opportunity for teams of faculty and graduate students to think about how to revise or develop a current College of Education course in ways that strengthen global and international perspectives. The fellowship includes participation in a seminar series with opportunities for graduate students to collaborate in small groups with faculty. GCF was last offered in 2021-2022.
