It's a Fulbright Friday!

Last Fulbright Friday

Today's Fulbright Friday is the last edition of this application cycle! All of the editions are linked below and on our website.

We have very much enjoyed working with many advisees during the past few months!

If Applying, Be Sure To . . .

If you are applying through Georgetown's institutional process (deadline for all materials is September 1, 2024 at 12 PM NOON ET), be sure you have:

• Completed this very brief Intent to Apply form.
• Completed the 2024-2025 Fulbright Waiver and Agreement Form.

These forms are necessary for the mentor matching process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Center for Research & Fellowships will not be available to answer questions over Labor Day Weekend. Please ask any remaining questions before 5 PM ET today, August 30.

Required: Locking Your Application

REMEMBER: If you are applying through Georgetown's campus review process, your completed application must be locked in the Fulbright portal by September 1 at 12 PM NOON (not midnight) ET.

This lock feature is available in the "Ready for Campus Review" section of the online application. Review the July 26, 2024 Fulbright Friday if you have questions about where to lock the application in the portal.

Locking your application earlier than the September 1 deadline will not prevent individuals from submitting recommendations/evaluations by the internal deadline. 

Reminder: Late Applications

Regarding applying after the September 1 deadline, the Center for Research & Fellowships follows Fulbright's guidance, which is, "Students who miss the campus deadline are still able to apply through your institution but will not have the Campus Committee Evaluation (CCE) form or the benefit of the campus review process."

If you will not meet Georgetown's September 1 institutional deadline, but still plan to apply for Fulbright, you can list Georgetown University as your institutional affiliation. But you will not be matched with a campus mentor for the campus committee evaluation process.

Please fill out this Late Application Form if you are applying after the September 1 deadline.

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 Unsubmitting Recommendations and Evaluations

Occasionally, Fulbright recommenders or language evaluators want to request that their letters/forms be unsubmitted in order to make a correction.

Only they can do this by emailing Fulbright at fbstudentsupport@iie.org. 

Applicants and the Center for Research & Fellowships cannot request that letters/forms be unsubmitted.

All forms/letters must then be resubmitted by the deadline.
