2) Lindbergh funds mostly projects that deal with technology integration. Below is an example of a funded project from their website.
Robert Marquez and Dr. Antonio Lara (1999) - Air
"Preserving the Traditional Brick Kiln Way of Life While Reducing Air Pollution Using Innovative Low Technology"
Dr. Ernest R. Diedrich (1995) - Energy
"Balancing Energy Consumption with Resource Conservation: A Wind Power Study for Central Minnesota, an Educational Model for the World"
The hazards of nuclear waste, diminishing fossil fuel resources, pollution generated from oil and coal, and rising and unstable energy prices make imperative the search for alternative energy sources. This project seeks to preserve our natural environment and lead us to a more sustainable future by advancing the use of wind power technology. Wind power has long been recognized as a safe, reliable and clean energy source. Recent technological advances in turbine design have revolutionized wind power and made it affordable and more viable as an alternative energy source. The aim of this project is to expand the use of wind power technology in Central Minnesota, where wind speeds are somewhat lower and where the feasibility of wind power has not received much study. It will also involve the integration of the study of wind power generation into the educational curricula of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University, a model that can be replicated at other academic institutions.
3)The Fullbright Specialist Fellowship is extremely competitive and requires United States citizenship, a terminal degree in the field, 5 years of experience as a full-time faculty member in the field or 5 years experience as a full-time expert in that field, and a desirable skill set for international organizations such as museums and universities.
Tks Nathan!
