It's a Fulbright Friday!

Intent to Apply Form: Please Complete!

If you are applying through Georgetown's institutional process (deadline for all materials is September 1, 2024 at 12 PM NOON ET), please complete this very brief Intent to Apply form today or as soon as possible.

This important information will help us prepare for the campus committee evaluation and mentorship process.

Still Attending Advising Appointment?

By this point in the Fulbright application cycle, we've hosted many meaningful advising appointments with interested applicants.

NOTE: If you've scheduled an advising appointment anytime during the month of August and 1) are not applying this cycle and/or 2) will not attend your advising appointment, please cancel your meeting today or ASAP.

Canceling early (versus right before the appointment) is incredibly important given the high volume of appointment requests we have leading up to the September 1 internal deadline.

16 Days Until September 1!

By now, you should have reached out to your recommenders and, if required, language evaluators and affiliation contacts. Register your confirmed recommenders and evaluators in the Fulbright application portal! All application materials, including letters and forms, are due by September 1, 2024, at 12 PM NOON ET. 

IMPORTANT: If you are applying through Georgetown's institutional process, you are required to fill out the 2024-2025 Fulbright Waiver and Agreement Form. Take a minute to do so today!

ALSO: As explained on our website: "The center reserves the right to not match with a campus mentor applicants who LOCK incomplete draft applications by the September 1 internal due date."

More About Preparing Your Draft Application

If you are locking your completed draft application by Georgetown's September 1 deadline (12 PM NOON ET), here are some things to remember:

• Be sure your transcripts meet Fulbright's requirements and that you avoid Georgetown's orange Parchment transcript.
• Review Fulbright's requirements for personal statement and statement of grant purpose essay formatting.
• Lock – do not submit – your completed draft application by the September 1 deadline.
• Prepare for your Fulbright mentor meeting.
• Check in with your recommenders/evaluators today to ensure their letters/forms are in by September 1.

Note: After the internal deadline, your application will be unlocked by the Center for Research & Fellowships, meaning you can continue working on it prior to Fulbright's national deadline in October.
