The Project Statement

The project statement is the most important component of the Fulbright application. Scholars/artists with the most compelling, theoretically sound, well-written, feasible proposals are generally recommended for awards. Sometimes those with outstanding professional achievements assume that a brief, general project statement will be sufficient. It is not.

Format

• The project statement itself must be three to five single-spaced typed pages (3,500 words). Do not exceed the page limit of the proposal. Including irrelevant or extraneous material may divert attention from the project statement
• Begin the project statement with your name, country and the project title at the top of page one. At the top of each subsequent page, type your name and country
• Number each page
• In addition, attach a select bibliography of no more than three pages (2,100 words), if appropriate, to your proposed research.
• Organize your proposal in order of the following sections, which appear in bold print, and use them as headings for sections of text in your statement
