The Zen of Fulbright: The Unofficial Guide to U.S. Fulbright Scholarships

The Zen of Fulbright shares stories and advice from Fulbright Scholars about what it's like to be part of one of the world's most prestigious scholarship programs. Program alumni include Nobel Laureates, members of Congress, Pulitzer Prize winners, and foreign heads of state, and in this guide Fulbright Scholars talk about how to make the most of the incredible opportunities a Fulbright Scholarship can offer.

Compiled from over 100 interviews with Fulbright Program alumni, campus Fulbright advisers, and study abroad specialists, this book is an unofficial guide to what the Fulbright experience is like on the ground. It includes over 500 stories and quotes from alumni, tips on applying to the Fulbright Student Program, advice from former application readers, sample application essays, and practical strategies for maximizing your potential as a Fulbrighter. Fulbright Scholars speak openly 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 book we wish had been available before starting our own Fulbright Scholarships. It is the most comprehensive resource available about what's possible to achieve as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar.
