TRANSCRIPTS

Applying for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program includes the requirement that you submit transcripts from every institution - both at the graduate and the undergraduate levels - where you earned degrees and/or any type of course credit for your work. 

An application will be considered not eligible if you do not fully comply with this transcript requirement. From Fulbright:

• You must upload one acceptable academic transcript from each post-secondary institution from which you received (or expect to receive) a degree. Additional transcripts should be uploaded for coursework and grades not reflected on degree-granting transcripts.
• Additional transcripts should be uploaded for coursework and grades that are not reflected as transferred credits on degree-granting transcripts.
• If a degree is still in progress, you may upload a copy that shows the most recently completed semester. If you are in the first semester of a degree program and do not have a transcript yet, you do not need to provide any documentation. 
• Acceptable academic transcripts may be unofficial or official, but they must be produced by your institution’s registrar. Make sure that the document that you submit clearly shows your name, the name of the institution, and appears as an academic record that is organized chronologically--with course dates, titles, credits and grades.
• Screenshots of online academic portals (e.g. a course schedule or academic advising record) or transcript information copied and pasted into a Word document will not be accepted.
• Graduate-level students who do not include their undergraduate transcripts will be considered ineligible, as all applicants are required to submit bachelor’s degree transcripts.
• Narrative evaluations: Applicants who do not receive letter grades at their institution and have transcripts comprised of narrative evaluations must submit a transcript summary listing the courses taken and credit received, followed by several pages of narrative comments from the most recent semesters and/or courses that are most relative to the project. Applicants should not submit all narrative comments, and should take care to only submit those that are most relative to their Fulbright proposal. Submitting excessive pages of narrative evaluations may not be helpful to the review committees.

Georgetown Transcripts

For Georgetown, please order an official copy of your transcript/s using the service Parchment via the Office of the Registrar.

Please note: The Fulbright portal has technical difficulty with official Georgetown transcripts that are uploaded directly as the Parchment-delivered digital .pdf. 

To avoid this problem (see image above), you should upload a high-quality scanned .pdf that you make of your official Georgetown transcript/s. First, print out the Parchment transcript. Second, scan that printout. Third, upload the new scan that you made!

Do not upload into the Fulbright application portal the .pdf you received directly from Parchment.

Printing and Scanning Transcript

Please contact the Center for Research & Fellowships if you need any assistance with printing or scanning your transcript.
