Applicants who have already graduated may apply through their alma mater, provided the campus Fulbright Program Adviser (FPA) will accept applications from alumni. Fulbright Program Advisers are not obligated to work with alumni, but will often do so as a courtesy. Candidates should contact the Fulbright Program Adviser at their alma mater directly for his or her policy on working with alumni. If the FPA is agreeable, applicants should know they will need to meet the campus deadline, follow campus instructions for the submission of their applications and support documents, and also make themselves available for the campus interview.
