Virtual Fulbright Bootcamp Description, Dates, Expectations
The Virtual Fulbright Bootcamp is an intensive writing summer program that is designed to provide rising seniors and recent grads with foundational grant writing, personal essay writing, and editing skills, while completing a first draft of their Fulbright Grant application. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides opportunities for newly graduated students and early alumni to spend 9-12 months conducting research or an arts project, pursuing graduate study, or teaching English in one of more than 180 countries worldwide.

The Virtual Bootcamp will hold synchronous sessions on the following weeks (tentative and subject to change):
June 23
June 30
July 14
July 21
July 28
August 4

Much of the material will be completed asynchronously on Canvas before our once-a-week virtual synchronous sessions. We will meet for approximately 60-75 minutes once a week on Zoom. We will reach out about possible days/times for the synchronous sessions after we process all of the applications.

Emory Fulbright Pre-Application (R/S Applicants Only)
Students applying for a Fulbright R/S Grant are required to fill out Emory's Fulbright R/S Pre-Application. There is no pre-application for ETA applicants.

The Pre-Application will open up in early May. Please check College Connect at this time to access it. The Fulbright R/S Pre-Application will be due on June 26th at 4 PM EST. Please feel free to re-use your answers in both of these applications.
