You may do this anytime before this date, but please do it by the date.

You will be considered a serious candidate only after submitting the items listed below. You can always change your mind later.

If you are planning to apply for a Fulbright that will fund you to spend the academic year 2019–2020 abroad, please fill out our Fulbright Form: Fulbright: Application Process to indicate your intention to proceed with the application process. Include:

1. Your full name.
2. Your phone number.
3. Your fellowship type: “Teaching Assistantship” or “Research/Study.”
4. The country to which you plan to apply (choose only one).
5. The e-mails of three faculty referees who can speak to your qualifications for this award, and a foreign language evaluator if required. You can change these names later, but please fill in your best options.
6. Graduation year and month.

If you have problems with the form linked above, please email Cory Lakatos for assistance. At any point, you may drop the process; just email gibbs@hope.edu or maiullo@hope.edu.

In addition, please locate, purchase (or borrow), and read a book – yes, an actual book – about the country where you plan to study or teach.

Turn in the following documents electronically as Word docs, double-spaced, with your name and the type of essay in the filename, sent to both gibbs@hope.edu and maiullo@hope.edu:

1. Draft of your statement of your Statement of Grant Purpose (two double-spaced pages for English Teaching Assistantships; four double-spaced pages for research/study grants).
2. Draft of your two-page (double-spaced) Personal Statement. See the Fulbright web site and the Writing Requirements for information about preparation of these documents. Keep working on them, even after you’ve sent drafts to the advisors.
3. A three- to four-page essay on a book (A book! Not a website!) that you have read about the country to which you plan to apply. Be sure to include full bibliographic information (author, title, city, publisher, year of publication) for your book.
