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:

Check in with your recommenders/evaluators today to ensure their letters/forms are in by September 1.
Be sure your transcripts meet Fulbright's requirements and that you avoid Georgetown's orange Parchment transcript.
Follow Fulbright's requirements for short answer and statement of grant purpose formatting.
Ensure your abstract thoughtfully summarizes your statement of grant purpose, while demonstrating your enthusiasm for engagement opportunities in the host country.
Lock – do not submit – your completed draft application by the September 1 deadline in the "Ready for Campus Review" section of the Fulbright application portal.
Prepare for your Fulbright mentor meeting.
Review frequently asked questions about applying.

Note: A few days 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.
