The Fulbright Canada-Mitacs Globalink Research Internship is intended for U.S. Students interested in undertaking advanced research projects for 10 to 12 weeks in Canada (between May and August) in their area of interest. Projects will be drawn from a broad cross-section of research topics covering all academic disciplines, and students will be placed with a university research project and undertake research projects under the supervision of a professor. Students will be given the opportunity to take part in professional training and extensive opportunities for cultural, social, and recreational experiences.

Applications open each August. Although there is no Carleton endorsement process, Director of Student Fellowships Marynel Ryan Van Zee is available to offer advice and provide feedback on application materials.

The program is highly competitive. Students are evaluated on a combination of factors including:

  • their record of academic achievement,
  • their personal statement,
  • their current skills and interests
  • fit to program
  • letters of recommendation
