In a stunning institutional revolt against Donald Trump, the entire 12-member board overseeing America's most prestigious international scholarship program resigned en masse Wednesday, blasting the administration for what they called blatantly illegal political interference.

The dramatic walkout of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board represents an unprecedented rebuke to Trump's destruction of academic independence, with board members—including New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen—accusing Marco Rubio's State Department of trampling decades of bipartisan tradition, the Daily Beast reported.

The Fulbright program, a crown jewel of American soft power established by Congress in 1946, has become another casualty in Trump's broader war against higher education and international cooperation. The program typically supports 8,000 scholars, students, and artists in cultural exchanges—exactly the kind of diplomatic bridge-building Trump consistently attacks.

[follow-up-news]

All 12 members of the board overseeing the prestigious Fulbright scholarships resigned Wednesday in protest of what they call the Trump administration’s meddling with the selection of award recipients for the international exchange program. A statement published online by the board members said the administration usurped the board’s authority by denying awards to “a substantial number of people” who already had been chosen to study and teach in the U.S. and abroad. Another 1,200 foreign award recipients who were already approved to come to the U.S. are undergoing an unauthorized review process that could lead to their rejection, the board members said. “To continue to serve after the Administration has consistently ignored the Board’s request that they follow the law would risk legitimizing actions we believe are unlawful and damage the integrity of this storied program and America’s credibility abroad,” the statement reads. Congress established the Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago to promote international exchange and American diplomacy. The highly selective program awards about 9,000 scholarships annually in the U.S. and in more than 160 other countries to students, scholars, and professionals in a range of fields.

Anecdotally it looks like other state schools (besides mine) are dissolving their foreign language/area studies departments too--so as I suspected this is a nativist push, an anti-humanities/gutting higher ed push, an isolationist/cutting ties with foreign unis and gov't programs push, and a way of hamstringing the international grad students + adjuncts on visas who tend to populate those departments, all in one fell swoop. Evil evil evil evil evil. A bunch of US Fulbright scholars abroad just got their funding pulled as well

hii! I'm Rosie and I have lots of questions n.n and literally I was just thinking about it (in advance lol) but I am going to be an English teacher in a few years and I plan to teach English in Daegu or Seoul (I still don't know which one) , which visa did you get? How did you get the job? Do you think that by the time I finish my career (3 years more) I'll be able to move to Daegu? Can I become fluent in Korean in 3 years? And the most important one !! Are you happy?

안녕하세요! Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, pretty much all the questions you asked can only be answered with "it depends." I am teaching through the Fulbright program, which is for Americans only. I also know some people who are teaching through the EPIK program, which is for anyone from an English-speaking country. Both of these programs place teachers in normal K-12 schools as opposed to hagwons. If you're looking for a hagwon or university teaching job, I have no idea how to get those or where to look for them.

I want to warn you that for Fulbright and EPIK, you have very little control over where you get placed. Fulbright specifically does not place first-year teachers in some of the biggest cities in Korea, including Seoul and Daegu. I'm not sure what your chances are with EPIK. It all depends on where teachers are needed, as well as who you are (such as your prior teaching experiences, etc.). You can voice your preferences, but nothing is guaranteed. In short, if you are applying to either of these programs, be prepared to be placed in a rural area like me! You might also have to teach a grade that you may not have wanted. Again, I'm not sure about other opportunities for foreign teachers in Korea, but this is what I know about these two programs.

As for getting fluent in Korean in 3 years, that also depends! I've been studying for years and still have a hard time speaking sometimes, although my listening, reading, and writing skills are fine. But this is because I've spent very little time in Korea and speaking Korean regularly. If you're fully immersed for 3 years, who knows! But know that even if you don't become fluent, you can for sure see a lot of progress and you will be able to survive in Korea.

And for the most important question: am I happy? The answer is yes! My role as a teacher is very different from my role as a teacher in the US. I have much less responsibility and I encourage my students to speak English freely, which is a stark contrast to the Suneung prep that they are accustomed to. Importantly, as a new foreign teacher, I have a lot of support from the people at my school. My job is definitely easier because of my teaching experience, so be prepared for a bit of a learning curve if you don't have any. But regardless, I feel a lot less stressed about my job here than I did in the US. It's a fun job and you'll love getting to know your students and seeing their progress!

Even if your experience is not what you're expecting--i.e. you're placed in rural Korea instead of a big city--know that you will be okay. I'm from New York City, so adjusting to rural life is definitely an adjustment. I also teach at a high school and a middle school, even though I did not want to teach middle school. But I am very grateful for my high school opportunity and do have the support I need at the middle school.

I hope this helps! If anyone knows of any other teaching programs in Korea, or if you've taught in Korea yourself, feel free to comment about it! Thanks for your question and best of luck! 화이팅!

The Trump administration is stripping away support for scientific research in the US and overseas that contains a word it finds particularly inconvenient: “climate.”

The US government is withdrawing grants and other support for research that even references the climate crisis, academics have said, amid Donald Trump’s blitzkrieg upon environmental regulations and clean-energy development.

Trump, who has said that the climate crisis is a “giant hoax”, has already stripped mentions of climate change and global heating from government websites and ordered a halt to programs that reference diversity, equity and inclusion. A widespread funding freeze for federally backed scientific work also has been imposed, throwing the US scientific community into chaos.

Researchers said work mentioning climate is being particularly targeted. One environmental scientist working in the western US who did not want to be named said their previously awarded grant from the Department of Transportation for climate-adaption research had been withdrawn, until they retitled it to remove the word “climate”.

References to climate are being scrubbed elsewhere, too. Course materials at the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center at the University of Hawaii will delete mentions of “climate change”, leaked emails seen by the Guardian show. The alterations, at the behest of the Trump administration, affect about a dozen different course materials.

“Specifically, references to ‘climate change’ and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) have been removed or revised to align with the new priorities,” an administrator at the center wrote. “Please exercise caution when referencing these topics during instruction.”

The administration’s animus towards climate research has even extended overseas via the US’s Fulbright exchange program, which offers about 8,000 grants a year to American and foreign teachers and scholars.

Kaarle Hämeri, chancellor of the University of Helsinki in Finland, said the descriptions for Fulbright grants had been changed to remove or alter the words “climate change”, as well as “equitable society”, “inclusive societies” and “women in society”.

“The people most vulnerable in our society in terms of health and public safety are now even further at risk,” said Jennifer Jones, director of the center for science and democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists.

“This administration doesn’t have a plan to advance science, they have a plan to remove obstacles for the oil and gas industry. They want to return to an era where kids have polio, rivers are on fire and cities are blanketed by pollution.”

Jones said that the US government may be moving in the direction of Florida, where Republicans banned mention of climate change in state laws. “I live in a state where we are under threat more than ever from climate change but state employees can’t mention it,” she said. “This administration wants scientists to feel threatened. We’ve seen this before but Trump is doing it at an unprecedented scale now.”

“We’re concerned about the signal this is sending out to any young student interest in Stem [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] who might not think they can see a future in the US,” she said. “We need greater investment in science and technology to be a global leader at this moment. Our adversaries will be very happy with this.”

Not a Surprise

[allthenewzworld]

All members of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board announced their resignation on Wednesday, releasing a statement accusing President Trump's administration of political interference in the prestigious exchange program.

The 12-member board alleged the Trump administration "usurped the authority of the Board" by denying Fulbright awards to "a substantial number of individuals" who were selected for the 2025-2026 academic year.

The board oversees the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, which offers international graduate students, young professionals and artists the opportunity to study and conduct research in the United States.

They Said HR Degrees Were Expensive—Until These Scholarships Changed Everything!

Your Guide to Human Resources Scholarships in 2025–26. What if your dream of earning a Human Resources (HR) degree without draining your bank account could become a reality in 2025–26? Yes, fully funded scholarships, generous stipends, and tuition waivers are unlocking doors for HR aspirants across the world... but only if you know where to look and how to act fast.

Because here’s the truth: every year, thousands miss out simply because they didn’t apply in time or worse, didn’t even know the opportunity existed. So, are you ready to discover the hidden gems of HR scholarships before the deadlines close? Let’s dive into the best opportunities and how you can grab yours in 2025–26.

Why Scholarships for HR Are Booming Right Now

Companies worldwide are doubling down on people-first strategies. They're investing more in mental health, diversity, hybrid work models, and inclusive leadership. This shift is creating an urgent demand for skilled HR professionals, and universities are responding by offering funded scholarships to attract the best global talent into HR programs. Whether it’s a bachelor’s, master’s, or even PhD in Human Resource Management, 2025–26 is your window.

Top Human Resources Scholarships to Target in 2025–26

Here’s a look at some of the most competitive and fully funded scholarships available across top destinations:

Bonus: Free or low-cost education in Germany = extra win!

Secret: Many Universities Offer Internal HR Scholarships Too!

While national scholarships get the hype, don’t overlook university-specific awards.

Some examples:

University of Toronto’s SGS Scholarship for Human Capital Studies

University of Edinburgh’s Business School HRM Scholarships

Monash University’s Human Resource Leadership Award in Australia

Check the HR department’s page on the university website. That’s where they hide the good stuff!

What You’ll Typically Need to Apply

A well-written Statement of Purpose (showing your HR passion)

Academic transcripts (a decent GPA helps, but not always a dealbreaker)

Letters of Recommendation (academic and/or professional)

English Proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent)

CV/resume tailored to HR interests

Sometimes: Work experience or community service in leadership, mentoring, or HR roles

Common Mistakes That Kill Applications

Applying after the deadline

Generic personal statements (“I love people” is not enough)

Ignoring less famous scholarships (they’re often easier to win!)

Not aligning goals with the scholarship’s mission

Don’t let these mistakes rob you of a life-changing opportunity. The competition is real, but prepared applicants win.

Final Thought

You could scroll past this… and let another year slip by. Or you could be the one who says: “Yes—I’m going for it.” A Human Resources degree can open powerful career doors—but a fully funded HR degree? That’s next level. In 2025–26, HR is the degree of the future, and scholarships are the bridges that get you there. Will you cross yours?

Study Abroad Scholarships for Indian Students: Your Guide to Funding Global Dreams

For thousands of aspiring students, studying abroad is a dream fueled by ambition, talent, and a desire for global exposure. However, the rising cost of tuition and living expenses can often be a major obstacle. This is where Study Abroad Scholarships for Indian Students play a transformative role. These funding opportunities not only ease the financial burden but also open doors to prestigious universities across the globe.

From full tuition waivers to living expense coverage, there are a variety of scholarship programs for studying abroad that Indian students can apply for based on merit, need, or specific fields of study.

Why Scholarships Matter for Indian Students

Studying overseas often involves a significant financial investment. Tuition fees, accommodation, travel, insurance, and day-to-day living can quickly add up. While some students manage these expenses through education loans for overseas studies, many rely on scholarships and financial aid for international students to make their dreams a reality.

Scholarships can make foreign education accessible for deserving candidates, encouraging academic excellence and reducing the burden of long-term debt.

Top Study Abroad Scholarships for Indian Students

Here are some well-known scholarship programs for studying abroad that Indian students should explore:

Chevening Scholarships (UK) – Offered to Indian professionals with leadership potential for pursuing a one-year Master’s in the UK.

Fulbright-Nehru Fellowships (USA) – Ideal for Indian students pursuing Master’s or doctoral degrees in the United States.

DAAD Scholarships (Germany) – These fully-funded programs support Indian students applying to German universities, particularly for post-graduate courses.

Commonwealth Scholarships (UK) – Aimed at students from Commonwealth countries including India, these scholarships cover tuition and living expenses.

Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EU) – Offers funding for two-year Master’s programs conducted across multiple European countries.

Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation Scholarships – Supports full-time Master’s courses in the USA, UK, and Europe.

These scholarships provide much-needed grants for Indian students studying abroad, allowing them to focus on academics without financial stress.

Financial Aid for International Students: What You Should Know

Besides competitive scholarships, many universities and government bodies provide financial aid for international students in the form of:

Need-based grants

Research assistantships

Teaching assistantships

Tuition discounts

Work-study programs

Financial aid packages vary from institution to institution, so it's essential to check each university's official website and eligibility criteria before applying.

How to Apply for Study Abroad Scholarships

Here are key steps Indian students should follow when applying for study abroad scholarships:

Start Early – Many scholarships have deadlines 6–12 months before the academic session begins.

Build a Strong Profile – Maintain a high GPA, participate in extracurriculars, and take language tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or GRE.

Write an Impressive SOP – A Statement of Purpose is crucial for most scholarship applications. Highlight your goals, achievements, and why you deserve the scholarship.

Collect LORs – Letters of Recommendation from teachers or professionals add credibility to your application.

Meet All Deadlines – Late or incomplete applications are often disqualified.

Taking the right approach improves your chances of securing education loans for overseas studies or full/partial scholarships.

Education Loans for Overseas Studies: A Reliable Backup

In case scholarships are insufficient, students can opt for education loans for overseas studies. Major Indian banks and NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies) offer loans that cover:

Tuition fees

Travel expenses

Study material

Accommodation costs

Health insurance

Ensure you understand the interest rates, repayment period, and collateral requirements before proceeding. Loans can complement grants for Indian students studying abroad and help bridge the financial gap.

Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for Scholarships

Ignoring Eligibility Criteria – Always read the fine print; applying for scholarships you’re not eligible for wastes time.

Missing Deadlines – Apply well in advance; delays could cost you the opportunity.

Generic Applications – Customize every application to the specific scholarship.

Skipping Smaller Scholarships – Smaller awards can add up and are often less competitive.

This post will guide you through the important factors you should be aware of if you are planning this thrilling experience.

Why Choose America for Higher Studies?

3. Cultural Diversity: Studying in America involves engaging with students from all corners of the globe. Such exposure to cultures enhances your learning experience, widens your perspective, and makes you competent for working in international setups.

4. Research and Internship Opportunities: U.S. universities focus on practical education. Foreign students usually get opportunities to serve as research assistants, become involved in real-world projects, and complete internships that enhance career prospects.

5. Career Prospects: Graduating from an American institution can lead to opportunities everywhere. It is well known that American degrees are respected all over the world, and students tend to get good job opportunities either in America via OPT or back in their home country.

Application Process

1. Research and Shortlisting Universities: Begin with researching your field of study and shortlisting institutions in terms of educational programs, site, price tags, and university life. Resources such as U.S. News & World Report and QS Rankings can guide your comparisons among institutions.

2. Standardized Tests: Most institutions demand standardized test scores like the SAT or ACT for undergraduate studies and GRE or GMAT for graduate studies. English language proficiency tests like TOEFL or IELTS are also required.

3. Application Materials: You will usually need to provide academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose (SOP), and occasionally a resume or portfolio, depending on the course.

4. Visa Application: After you've been sent your acceptance letter and I-20 form by the university, you need to apply for an F-1 student visa. It involves completing the DS-160 application, paying the SEVIS fee, and then appearing for an interview at the American embassy or consulate.

Financial Considerations

Education in the U.S. is costly. There is great variation in tuition costs but could be anywhere from $15,000 to $60,000 annually, based on the institution and course. Additional living costs will amount to $10,000 to $20,000 per annum.

Hearts Across Borders: The Human Side of U.S. Relations

In the realm of international diplomacy, political talks and trade agreements often make the headlines. Yet, the human side of these relations—the bonds formed between people from different walks of life—often goes unnoticed. However, it is these emotional and cultural connections that shape lasting friendships, smooth over tense moments, and foster global unity. Through programs of cultural diplomacy and people-to-people exchanges, the United States has continuously built bridges with nations across the world. This aspect of diplomacy might not always dominate the news cycle, but it is foundational to fostering understanding and trust between cultures.

In this article, we explore the power of cultural diplomacy, the people-to-people bonds that are at the heart of U.S. relations, and how these connections go beyond mere politics, making a profound impact on the lives of individuals globally.

The Power of Cultural Diplomacy

Cultural diplomacy plays a vital role in shaping the global image of any nation. For the United States, this form of diplomacy is instrumental in overcoming differences and fostering mutual respect. Through shared values, cultural exchanges, and educational programs, the U.S. has successfully used its “soft power” to connect with people worldwide.

While political or military diplomacy can often seem distant and cold, cultural diplomacy is warm and personal. It involves real human connections—whether through art, music, education, or everyday cultural exchanges. By building relationships based on respect and mutual understanding, cultural diplomacy fosters a global community that values diversity.

Building Global Relationships Through Culture

One of the most significant ways the U.S. engages in cultural diplomacy is through exchange programs like Fulbright, Peace Corps, and International Visitor Leadership Programs (IVLP). These programs enable individuals to travel abroad, study different cultures, and share American values while gaining a deeper understanding of others' ways of life.

Through these programs, young students, scholars, and professionals participate in hands-on experiences that transcend traditional diplomatic channels. They come back not only with knowledge but with stories of human connection that cannot be measured by treaties or trade agreements. These exchanges, however, do more than shape individual perspectives—they build lasting bridges between nations.

Stories That Shape Perceptions

When it comes to people-to-people diplomacy, it’s the personal stories that leave the greatest impact. These exchanges often go beyond the formalities of politics and immerse participants in real-world experiences. They witness firsthand the richness of different cultures, the kindness of foreign nationals, and the commonalities shared across borders.

One such example is the Fulbright Program, which has enabled American scholars to teach and study abroad since 1946. Over the years, thousands of students have participated in this program, and many have formed lifelong friendships with their international counterparts. These individuals, in turn, have returned home with a deep sense of empathy for other cultures and a commitment to spreading peace.

Similarly, the Peace Corps offers volunteers the opportunity to live and work in developing countries. It has fostered enduring bonds between American volunteers and local communities, many of whom have formed long-term relationships that transcend borders. These personal connections serve as a reminder that the people of the world, no matter their nationality, share the same basic desires for love, prosperity, and peace.

Cultural Immersion Through Shared Experiences

In a more intimate setting, hosting international students or participating in global exchange programs also provides people with a chance to connect on a personal level. These connections often lead to deep friendships that last well beyond the program’s conclusion. Imagine sitting down with a friend from abroad, sharing a meal, and discussing the similarities and differences in your cultures. Perhaps you bond over a shared love for food, art, or even the exchange of a cherished item—something as simple as a beautifully crafted brass wine cup used for a celebratory toast, which can serve as a symbol of cultural appreciation and personal connection.

These shared experiences help break down stereotypes and build trust. They remind us that, at the core of all of us, we are united by our humanity. A simple act of kindness—such as sharing a meal, exchanging a gift, or offering a warm welcome—can have a profound impact on shaping a positive perception of one another.

U.S. Government Initiatives That Build Bridges

While individual stories are at the heart of people-to-people diplomacy, many initiatives have been established by the U.S. government to support and facilitate these connections. These programs are crucial to U.S. foreign relations and diplomacy, and they work by fostering mutual understanding and collaboration on a global scale.

One of the most well-known programs is the Fulbright Program, which funds international exchanges for students, scholars, and professionals. Participants spend time abroad, either teaching or studying, while also immersing themselves in the local culture. This program has played a pivotal role in breaking down barriers between the U.S. and other countries while empowering individuals to become global ambassadors of peace and understanding.

Another important initiative is the Peace Corps, where volunteers serve in various regions around the world, assisting communities with education, healthcare, agriculture, and community development. Volunteers live and work alongside local populations, learning about different cultures while helping to improve the quality of life for those in need. The Peace Corps is a prime example of how cultural diplomacy goes beyond government negotiations to create real, lasting change.

Additionally, the Sister Cities Program pairs U.S. cities with international cities to promote cultural exchange and mutual understanding. This initiative has led to hundreds of partnerships that have enriched the lives of both American and international citizens.

How These Bonds Influence Foreign Policy

The emotional and cultural connections formed through people-to-people diplomacy directly impact U.S. foreign policy. When people from different cultures have positive experiences with Americans—whether through educational exchanges or humanitarian efforts—it humanizes international relations. This, in turn, fosters goodwill and strengthens the diplomatic relationship between nations.

For example, when an American student forms a friendship with a scholar from China, that relationship helps soften the political discourse between the two nations. Over time, these bonds create a network of individuals who view one another not through the lens of politics, but through shared experiences and mutual respect. This emotional connection can lead to greater cooperation on economic, environmental, and security issues in the future.

In many cases, people-to-people diplomacy helps reduce tensions between countries that might otherwise be at odds. Through understanding and friendship, nations can work together to address global challenges, such as climate change, poverty, and international security. It is through these lasting human connections that diplomacy evolves from cold, impersonal negotiations to warm, cooperative partnerships.

Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

While the benefits of people-to-people diplomacy are clear, there are challenges to maintaining and expanding these programs. Political shifts, changes in government priorities, and funding cuts can threaten the future of such initiatives. Additionally, visa restrictions and cultural misunderstandings can limit the number of exchanges and the depth of engagement.

However, there are also opportunities for growth. In an increasingly digital world, virtual exchange programs can bring together people from different cultures, fostering connections that transcend geographic barriers. Social media platforms, online education, and virtual collaborations can enable people from around the world to share ideas, experiences, and perspectives without ever leaving their homes.

There is also an increasing awareness of the value of diversity and inclusion. As the world becomes more interconnected, there is a growing recognition that building cross-cultural relationships is essential for global peace and progress.

The Future of Human Connection in Diplomacy

The future of diplomacy lies in the continued investment in people-to-people bonds. By fostering deeper connections and understanding between citizens of different nations, we can create a world where empathy and cooperation replace division and conflict.

As individuals, we can contribute to this vision by participating in cultural exchanges, supporting programs like the Peace Corps, and welcoming international visitors into our communities. We can also foster cultural appreciation by collecting unique and meaningful items from different cultures—perhaps a symbol of a shared bond, such as a beautifully crafted brass wine cup.

This small but significant object could be more than just a gift or memento; it could be a symbol of the friendship and respect fostered through cross-cultural exchanges. A brass wine cup, passed from hand to hand, shared over a meal, or used to toast an important occasion, serves as a reminder of the power of human connection and the enduring bonds that transcend borders.

A Symbol of Connection: The Brass Wine Cup

If you're looking for a way to commemorate the bonds formed through cultural diplomacy, consider the Medieval Goblet Czars Vintage Chalice Brass Wine Cup. A beautifully crafted piece, this brass wine cup reflects the artistry and cultural significance that transcends time and borders. Whether used in ceremonial toasts or as a cherished keepsake, it embodies the spirit of cultural exchange and the lasting relationships that make global diplomacy meaningful.

By incorporating such timeless items into our lives, we not only celebrate these connections but also strengthen the emotional bonds that make our world a more unified place.

By embracing the human side of U.S. relations, we recognize that the true power of diplomacy lies not in policies or treaties, but in the hearts of individuals working together across borders. The connections we make today will shape the future of global cooperation, one bond at a time.
