If these kinds of projects spark your interest, then a Fulbright grant might be for you!  The Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides grants for young Americans to pursue research (in any field) and to teach English overseas. Funded by the State Department, the program's objective is to increase cultural ties and mutual understanding between Americans and communities abroad. Almost two thousand grants are given annually!
