Fulbright and Watson Internal Deadlines Fast Approaching!

Lisa Gates / September 15, 2015 / Fellowships, Study Abroad, Teaching English Abroad

Applications for Watson nomination are due Thursday, Sept. 17 at noon! See application instructions at go/watson for required materials and format. Selected applicants will be interviewed in late September, exact dates and times TBA.

Fulbright applications are due by end of day on Wednesday, September 23. This must be a complete and polished application, meaning letters of recommendation, affiliation letter (if appropriate), transcripts, language evaluations are also submitted by that date. We have ordered Middlebury transcripts for those applicants we knew about on Sept. 9. We will send you a pdf of your transcript to upload by Sept. 21. You are responsible for uploading transcripts and affiliation letters (if required). You will be able to see whether your recommendations have been submitted or not, but will not be able to see the letters themselves. At some point on September 23, you must click the SUBMIT button on the application. This moves your application from the applicant space to the institutional space, allowing fellowships staff to see your materials. These will be shared with faculty interviewers. You will then select a time for a brief campus interview (we will notify you when that is ready!). The fellowships office will submit your application to Fulbright by their Oct 13 deadline. See go/fulbright for more info. If you have questions or problems with any materials, please contact fellowships@middlebury.edu.
