Fulbright Canada-Mitacs Globalink Research Internship

The Fulbright Canada-Mitacs Globalink Research Internship provides exceptional U.S. undergraduate students with the opportunity to be part of a 10 to 12-week research internship under the supervision of a Canadian university faculty member.

This summer, 37 talented American students undertook virtual research projects with Canadian professors under the new Fulbright Canada–Mitacs Globalink Program. The virtual exchange allows some of the brightest U.S. students in a wide range of disciplines to pursue a research project with toptier academics at Canadian universities.
