Application Procedures

Applications must be completed and submitted online before Thursday, April 01, 2010 at http://foreign.fulbrightonline.org/fulbrightpage.html (access the Online Fulbright Student Application)

Incomplete application will not be considered. Candidates are advised to apply early and to ensure that all necessary documentation is received in a timely fashion. This includes all transcripts of university studies showing grades, certified copies of all university diplomas, and four letters of reference. At least three letters of reference should be from academics who can attest to the quality of the candidate’s university study and academic potential. If degrees and transcripts are not in English, translations must be attached.

Applicants should also have investigated the programs offered in their fields by the American universities and have clearly in mind the type of study program desired.

REQUIRED STANDARD EXAMINATIONS:

Only Fulbright finalists are to take the TOEFL, GRE and GMAT tests.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a language test required of all foreign students whose native language is not English. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a general ability test, which indicates a candidate's aptitude for graduate level study. Management students are usually required to take the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) instead of the GRE.
