Fulbright Taiwan, Foundation of Scholarly Exchange (FSE)

>Grants to Taiwan

"Everyday on the street, in restaurants, in markets, and in life I met, spoke to, and interacted with people of another culture in ways, which transcended organized activities, and which left, I think, an indelible imprint on time and space. "

-Tim McCaffrey, 2004-2005 Student

“…the scholars I have met this year have assisted me in so many ways, from suggesting sources to critiquing my ideas. This personal exchange, I hope, will last my lifetime. .. Professionally, this experience of doing intensive archival field research simply could not be matched by doing my research in libraries in the US. I learned how to use and dissect several new kinds of archival documents, and I made professional contacts with local scholars and students that benefit me in immeasurable ways.”

—Joe Wicentowski, 2004-2005 Student
