Time Is Flying: 2 Weeks!

There are now just two weeks until Georgetown's internal Fulbright application deadline: September 1, 2023 at 12 PM (noon) ET!

Do not wait! If your application draft is final, submit it to us, via the Fulbright application portal, any time in August. (Your application draft will not go to Fulbright at this point when you submit it in the portal.)

If you are applying and have not done so already, please complete this very brief Intent to Apply Form. In addition, in order to match you with a mentor, it is necessary for you to complete and submit the center's Waiver and Agreement Form.

Also remember the various resources we have highlighted in previous editions of this e-newsletter:

• If you are around campus, stop by our center to review example Fulbright essays - 3607 O Street NW.
• Visit Georgetown's library system for various helpful research resources.
• Consult with the Writing Center.
• Seek support from the Center for Research & Fellowships for your affiliation letter.

Add Your Recommenders!

In order for your recommenders to submit their forms (ETA) or letters (Study/Research) by the September 1 due date, you need to add them in the Fulbright application portal!

Today is a good day to do that if you have not done so already. Also, check in with your recommenders about their forms/letters!

Submitting Your Draft Application

A frequent question we receive goes something like: Should I actually submit my draft application in the Fulbright portal?

The answer is YES!

When you reach the "Review & Submit" page within the online application, the system will let you know if any required information is missing.

Further, as pictured above, Fulbright recommends that you "Click Here To Preview Application Proof." We recommend that, too!

In addition, to make sure your Georgetown Parchment transcript is appearing correctly (see July 7 Fulbright Friday "Advising Corner"), we recommend downloading and reviewing the .pdf of your application proof by clicking the printer icon on the preview screen.

Once everything is ready, submit your draft by September 1, 2023 at 12 PM (noon) ET!
