Fulbright Application Planning Tool (FPT)

Now it is time for some pre-application planning. Keep in mind that this proposal is provisional; you’re not locked into these decisions. This information will help us advise you better in the early stages of your application preparation process, which in turn will enable you to develop a stronger Fulbright application in the months ahead for consideration by our campus endorsement committee. It is okay to complete multiple planning tools if you are undecided between options.
