The main sections of a Fulbright application consist of 1) an essay describing your Fulbright project and how you will spend your year—Statement of Grant Purpose, and 2) a series of short essays describing how you fit the mission of the Fulbright
We will dissect the key components Fulbright reviewers are seeking to glean from the short essays, review and discuss past winning Fulbright statements, and assist you in beginning to sketch and portray your own story.
