Opis

The Zen of Fulbright is an unofficial guide designed to help American applicants and grantees of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program make the most of the incredible opportunities a Fulbright Scholarship can offer. Compiled from dozens of interviews with Fulbright Program alumni, campus Fulbright advisers, and study abroad specialists, this book is an unofficial handbook on what the Fulbright experience is like on the ground. The guide includes:

Over 500 stories and quotes from Fulbright Program alumni about their experiences A comprehensive guide to the application process Advice from Fulbright application readers on what makes a strong application Practical strategies for living overseas as a Fulbrighter Tips about how to pay forward your Fulbright experience after returning home Sample application essays Over 300 pages of candid advice from Fulbrighters about what worked for them, what they would have done differently, and how you can learn from their mistakes.

Written by Fulbrighters for future Fulbrighters, this is the most comprehensive resource available about the Fulbright Program. This is the guide we wish we had had when we began our own Fulbright Scholarships
