What You Need To Do
Fulbright scholarship applicants are required to complete the following steps in order to be considered for the scholarship 2023:
The first. You can submit your application online
For USEFP evaluation, Fulbright applicants must gather a variety of resources. The application must be accompanied by all required documentation
The second one. Gather transcripts and certificates from colleges
An ACCA or foreign 3-year bachelor’s degree is considered a comparable undergraduate degree, as are transcripts and diplomas from a 4-year undergraduate program. A doctoral applicant must submit transcripts and an MPhil or MS degree. The program is also open to students in their last year of undergraduate study who wish to graduate by December of this year. USEFP does not only consider your GPA, but all aspects of your transcript.
Education background, courses taken, and grades in each subject are all evaluated. Additionally, they consider the fact that different colleges use different grading systems. Fulbright recipients do not have to have a minimum GPA, but most have an excellent academic record. There is more to undergraduate coursework than just that.
As a third. Take the TOFEL or GRE General Test.
The GRE score you received on the day of the exam, or the score you received after receiving your official result, can be included in your application. The code 9388 must be used by applicants to request an official score report to be sent directly to USEFP by ETS. Results of the GRE general (international) exam are required for application. An engineering or science GRE score of 315 or higher is considered good, and a 310 or higher score is considered good for all other subjects. You do not have to take a subject test on the GRE.
For the Fulbright program, 138 is the required score on the GRE verbal and quantitative sections. Candidates who are approved usually have GRE scores that are in the top percentile. In the case of more than one GRE attempt, Fulbright will only consider the best score. The TOEFL is NOT required when submitting an application. An interview invitation requires you to take the TOEFL exam. It is not recognized as a valid test.
4. Two essays should be ready
You must submit two essays with your Fulbright application. In the space provided on the application form, each essay should be 800 words or less. You should write in a simple and clear manner in your essays to help the Fulbright panel comprehend you better. Before writing the essays, you must come up with a marketing strategy. Essays are usually written and revised within 4-6 weeks by successful candidates.
In addition, at least three recommendations must be submitted.
To submit your application on time, you must provide three recommendations. It is acceptable to provide three academic references, two academic and one professional reference, or two academic and two professional reference letters. This means that you will need one academic reference letter. Reference forms are included in your application packet. Your referees must complete, sign, and stamp the forms, then tape the envelopes together. Once your application has been submitted online, your referees will receive an online form by email.
In addition, make your academic resume as organized as possible
A current and most recent resume should be submitted to the application form.
7. Online Form Submission
Fulbright applicants do not have to pay any application fees. The application process must be completed online.
8. The interview
As soon as your written application is approved, you may receive an invitation to a panel interview. After mid-September, interviews are scheduled for October. You will be considered unsuccessful if you do not hear from USEFP by the end of October. It is a good indication of selection, though not a guarantee. Four members of an interview panel conduct 15 to 30-minute interviews. Although it is not necessary to take the TOEFL exam by the interview date, you must have your registration slip with you.
