If you have ever tried applying for different grants, you might be already familiar with how it works. Usually, the competition for any grant includes submission of the application documents, taking an interview, and probably taking certain exams. The details of a process, of course, depend on the type of grant. As you may guess, the Fulbright award also has a number of specific requirements for those who decide to apply for it.
Following up on my first post, I would like to introduce you to the column in which I am going to describe each step that I took during the Fulbright competition. So, welcome to Fulbright contest! If you were to ask me what it takes to become a Fulbright grantee, you are on the right page. In the sections of this column, I will explain each stage of the contest in detail, focusing on the most important things that a potential applicant may take into account. Useful tips and personal experience are included 😉
Disclaimer: the procedures of application and the rules of the competition itself may differ depending on a country. In this column, I am going to talk about the requirements for Russian participants who applied for the Fulbright Graduate Program in 2018 – 2019. If you want to apply for the grant or learn some specific details about the process of application, please, check the Fulbright website of your country.
