These grants are available to both graduating seniors and
to graduate students, in all fields including the arts,
sciences, professional fields, as well as social sciences
and humanities. These Fulbrights are available for most
of the nations of the world: the specifics for each country
are described in a booklet available in the Graduate School,
the Honors’ Program and the Moynihan Institute on
the third floor of Eggers Hall. Printed applications are
available at Moynihan, although candidates are urged to
use the on-line system. IIE Fulbrights are administered
through a university committee, headed by Susan Wadley,
Anthropology: Professor Wadley serves as the Campus Fulbright
Advisor. The completed application must be submitted on-line
and in printed form by Thursday, Sept. 20 after which there
is a campus interview by members of the Fulbright Committee.
You must submit your application and all supporting materials
(transcripts, letters of reference, portfolios if necessary)
in one manila envelope by Sept. 20. Have your letters of
reference put into a sealed envelope, signed across the
flap by the referee. We will not accept individually mailed
letters and transcripts. These materials are to be taken
to the Moynihan Institute, Eggers Hall.
