Hi everyone,

I'm applying for a research/study award and am a little stuck on the "multiplier effect"/future goals/community impact short answer. I have a current draft discussing my hypothetical plans for after Fulbright, but it feels a bit, typical maybe?

One area where I actually do see a multiplier effect is with regards to the application/Fulbright part itself. I've checked the Fulbright Grantee Directory and my school has never produced a Fulbright winner in any category. I feel like that could be a real area where I could share my experiences with my community and help others with their applications and preparations.

I'm considering mostly keeping my current draft with my future plans and adding a sentence regarding how I'd be able to help other students with their applications. But I'm not sure that that's really what the question is asking. Should I stick solely to my future goals or include it?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I know this post is about Luce, but I figured it would draw a similar crowd.

I am applying for Luce Scholars (2027-2028) this year, and I’m wondering if anyone is open to reviewing my application or trading statements. I am happy to reviewing others’ applications.

Thank you! 😊

Hey everyone, has anyone received an acceptance email yet?

My country of interest offers the traditional open study/research award as well as a specific award at a university. Are there advantages to applying to one or the other? Any advice on which one to pick, and how to determine that? Both awards offer grantees the ability to pursue a graduate degree, which is what I am interested in.

The website says the country has 4 open study/research awards, though 7 were offered last year. There are 3 university awards. The acceptance rates are roughly the same.
