Fulbright Chile and the University of California, Davis, are pleased to announce the continuation of their joint sponsorship program for Fulbright Chairs, which has been running annually since 2022. Applications will be accepted August 1, 2025 until October 30, 2025. 

This year, nine UC Davis students were selected to participate in the 2024-25 Fulbright U.S. Student Program. They join the ranks of program alumni who went on to become presidents, diplomats, Nobel prize winners and distinguished leaders and scholars.

From March 1 to June 30, 2022, Marly Augusto Cardoso served as UC Davis’ inaugural Fulbright Chair from Brazil. A senior scientist from the University of São Paulo, Cardoso specializes in child and maternal nutrition in the Amazon—expertise that brought her to the UC Davis Department of Nutrition and helped immerse her in the larger university community.
