Project Statement
The project statement is a critical part
of your application because reviewers give
significant weight to the quality of the
project statement in evaluating applications.
Therefore, it is essential that you provide
full responses to the items below.
Your project statement should address
| • |
the reasons that you wish to be considered
for the program, |
| • |
the relation of the program to your
current job responsibilities, |
| • |
the impact your participation will
have on your career and professional
development, |
| • |
the impact your participation will
have on your institution and your community
and |
| • |
the ways you will share what you have
gained with others at your institution
and elsewhere (e.g. presentations at
national or regional NAFSA conferences,
publications, etc.) |
If you have had a Fulbright grant or other
international experience in the past, be
sure to describe the impact it had on your
professional life and on your institution.
Applicants who are senior administrators
should clearly and fully explain their responsibilities
for international programs and activities
on their campus and the percentage of their
time devoted to these programs and activities.
Applicants who are faculty but who are involved
in the administration of international programs
should indicate the relative distribution
of their time to teaching and administrative
responsibilities. Applicants for the German
program who are in the field of career counseling
should describe the international dimension
of their jobs.
Applications must include
a brief statement (1-2 pages) describing
the nature and scope of their institution's
international education programs and activities,
current and projected. This should
be a separate document and not included
in the personal project statement. (For
Japan or Korea, include the number--not
percentage--of foreign students at your
institution as well as the number of students
from Japan or Korea. To insure that this
information is clear and obvious, it is
recommended that you present it in a tabular
format.) If you are from a nonacademic institution,
you must include information about your
organization. Note: The organization must be a non-profit.
Submit only three references. References should be sought from (1) the
person to whom you report at your institution,
(2) someone outside your home institution
who can judge your experience and ability
to benefit from the seminar and (3) a colleague
in your field from your own or another institution.
One reference must be from your present
institution. At least one of the references
should be an administrator at your institution.
In your application,
you will provide the names of your references
and an e-mail address for each. They will
receive a password and instructions from
the administrator regarding how to provide
the letter. Be sure that you alert them
to expect this message and send them the
"Special Instructions
for Referees" as well as a copy
of your project statement.
BE SURE TO REVIEW THE APPLICATION BEFORE
SUBMISSION TO INSURE THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED
EACH SECTION AND INCLUDED ALL REQUIRED PARTS.

Scholarship Board and the Fulbright commissions
in Berlin, Tokyo or Seoul review the applications
of the recommended candidates and make the
selections.
