Why Brazil?
Studying in Brazil has many benefits! It is the most populous country in Latin America, more than half of its population is Afro-descendant, and it has one the largest economies in the world.
In addition to allowing students to learn (more) about the many incredible aspects of this great multicultural country, it allows students to apply for Fulbright scholarships. Melissa (Missy) Reif '13, Benjamin (Ben) West '14, Gaby Corcoran'19, Lizzi Marin'18, Eddy Diamantes'16, and Jacqui Amezcua'19 have won Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships. Candice Ionescu'19 received a Fulbright Research Fellowship to conduct research on international studies in Rio de Janeiro.
