Essay Help
I'm reitering the offer in my last post: if you need help drafting a funding proposal, I'm here to help. Technicalities about your subject matter should be addressed to your PI or departmental sponsor, but keep in mind when you're writing these proposals that in most cases, you're addressing a literate but general purpose audience.
Right now, I'm taking appointments, but if there's sufficient interest I'll set up regular office hours. Undergraduates working on a Fulbright proposal are also welcome.
Fulbright Season
I'm seeing a lot of questions about how Fulbright works at UCSD. You should complete your application online here, print out a copy, attach any other documents (transcripts, letters, etc.), and deliver to OGSR's main office (520 University Center, over by the new pool and Canyonview) by 4:30pm on September 8, 2006. If you require an exception because you live outside the San Diego area, please email me.
Two professors with some interest or expertise either in your subject matter or your region will interview you after they finish reading your application. This is not a selection process, and is in fact here for your benefit, so that you can make changes after you receive feedback. You'll receive a rating from 1 (best) to 4 (not recommended for further consideration) that will accompany you to the national screening committee.
After giving you the opportunity to make changes to your CV and statement of purpose, we forward the applications to IIE, where the national screening committee makes the first cut. At this point, you'll receive word on whether you've been recommended or not. If you haven't, your Fulbright application ends there. If you have, you still might not get a Fulbright. From here, the applications have to be approved by the embassy committees in the foreign countries and then money has to be found to support your studies.
Lots more Fulbright information will follow here, but please contact me with any questions while you're writing.
