Membership
Ordinary Membership for the Fulbright Alumni Associa-tion of Cambodia is by default for returned Cambodian Fulbright grantees. Associate Membership may be granted, upon application, to any person who shares our vision. Our members are encouraged to take part in the promotion and implementation of our activities including Fulbright candidate selection panel, lecture series, writing articles for our publication, etc. In re-turn, the experiences of these activities are self-fulfilling and keep our members active socially and sometimes professionally. To maintain secure funding for FAAC’s activities and future growth, membership fees may be contributed by members on a voluntary basis.
FAAC Volunteers
Based on our needs, we recruit volunteers to assist us with our various activities. Visit our office if you want to volunteer and contribute to our activities.
