Fulbright Hint #3 – 2015

Hint #3 – 2015

• If you have already started your Fulbright Application and indicated that you are applying through SU – GREAT! Thank you. If not, please log on at Fulbright US student program, and get started.

After July 1, I will only send these hints to people who have officially started a Fulbright application and indicated that they are applying through Syracuse University.

• When completing your Fulbright application and writing your essays, pay attention to the fact that Fulbright emphasizes “Cultural Exchange” and “Community Engagement.” You need to be sure to address these issues in your application. There is a question in the application that specifically asks you about this, and there are any number of ways that you can indicate your willingness to represent the US abroad, as well as share appreciate and respect for the culture you will be experiencing. Think freely, but also be sure what you suggest you will is feasible!

• Remember that the SU deadline is September 15th! You need to have all parts of the application: demographics, essays, letters of recommendation, as well as language evaluations and affiliation letters (if required) completed by that date. However, you will be able to continue to edit your application until you submit it in October.

It is a really good idea to set aside some time each week to work on your Fulbright application. If necessary – make an “appointment” with yourself and mark it on your calendar.
