Job Posting Title Fulbright U.S. Student Program - Campus Deadline
Job Description The Fulbright U.S. Student Program expands perspectives through academic and professional advancement and cross-cultural dialogue. Fulbright creates connections in a complex and changing world. In partnership with more than 140 countries worldwide, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers unparalleled opportunities in all academic disciplines to passionate and accomplished graduating college seniors, graduate students, and young professionals from all backgrounds. Program participants pursue graduate study, conduct research, or teach English abroad.
Eligible are U.S. citizens who are graduating seniors or graduates in any field.
*Any eligible candidate who wants to apply for the Fulbright
can (Wellesley does not nominate/not nominate for Fulbright). The campus application process is simply to provide feedback and advice-plus an additional letter of reference in support of your application-to help you put forward the strongest application you can by the national deadline in early October!
Interviews : the Wellesley committee conducts informal interviews during the month of September, ahead of the national deadline in early October.
To apply for Fulbright with the support of the Wellesley committee, by the campus deadline on August 19, 2026, please: - Submit a pdf copy of your official Fulbright application via this system (but do NOT hit the submit button in the official Fulbright online application system: instead, please "lock" it for campus review by the campus deadline, as well as providing a copy here; we will return editing access to you after your campus interview). See the Wellesley Fulbright page for detailed application information and lots of tips and advice.
- Transcripts : upload any applicable transcripts (including Wellesley, transfer or study abroad institutions) to your official online application and include them here. **Please note that while the Wellesley committee is happy to look at an unofficial transcript, an unofficial Wellesley transcript does NOT meet Fulbright's requirements, so you must upload an official Wellesley transcript to the Fulbright application system before the national deadline in early October. (Should this be a financial difficulty for you, email and we'll order and pay for an official Wellesley transcript for you for Fulbright, no questions asked.)
- References : please request 3 references via the official Fulbright application system (not this Wellesley system), noting that for English Teaching Assistantship applications references must submit a form and for Study/Research grants references must submit letters. These should be submitted via the official online Fulbright application system and may come in after you "lock" your official application for committee review, and even after the campus deadline.
- Language evaluations : even if a foreign language evaluation is not required for the grant for which you are applying, if you have any proficiency at all in one or more languages of your host country, submit a language evaluation and strengthen your application! These should be submitted via the official online Fulbright application (and not this Wellesley system). Language evaluations may be submitted after you "lock" your official application for committee review, and after the campus deadline.
- Letters of affiliation , if applicable: upload them to your official Fulbright application; you may submit an application for the Wellesley committee to review even if you don't yet have a required letter of affiliation, just keep working on it so you'll have it by the end of September at the very latest.
- Portfolio : only for arts grants or in support of study/research grants for arts degree programs for which portfolios are required. Please submit this via the official Fulbright application system as required.
