How to Begin
Step 1: Learn more about the Fulbright awards
Begin by making sure you meet the eligibility requirements and by watching these videos from the Fulbright website. You will also want to explore the Fulbright site. It has a wealth of information about the awards. If you are eligible and still interested, please email Dr. Anna Beaudry to get onboarded to the process at anna_beaudry1@baylor.edu.
Step 2: Attend an Info Session, Award and Country Workshop, and Essay Workshop
If you are interested in learning more about applying during the upcoming award cycle, which ends with you submitting your application on September 2nd, 2025, please first attend an info session at one of the times listed below. After that, please attend one award/country workshop and one essay workshop, ideally the one geared toward the type of award for which you intend to apply.
*If you are jumping onto this process post-March 5th, 2025, please begin by emailing Dr. Beaudry to gain access to the info session recording and to schedule a one-on-one meeting to discuss the award(s) and country/countries you are interested in.
2025 Info Sessions and Workshops
Fulbright Info Sessions: In these info sessions, we will offer an overview of the Fulbright, discuss the two types of awards, how to decide if the Fulbright is right for you, and initial guidance on choosing which award and country to apply for.
- Friday, February 21st at 4 pm in Cashion C320
- Monday, February 24th at 4 pm in Cashion C320
- Tuesday, February 25th at 4 pm in Draper 152
- Thursday, February 27th at 5pm on Zoom
Choosing an award and country workshop: In these workshops, we will talk further about how to make this decision, and we will offer plenty of time for you to ask questions related to your choice. Since you can only apply for one award to one country, selecting an award and country to apply for is probably the most important choice in the application process, and one that takes a bit of time to make.

English Teaching Assistant (ETA) essay workshop. In this workshop on the ETA essays, we will discuss what you will want to write about and show you annotated essays from previous Baylor Fulbright ETA winners that demonstrate what winning essays look like. The essays are the engine that drives the Fulbright application and therefore the most important part of it.

In this workshop on the S/R essays, we will discuss what you will want to write about and show you annotated essays from previous Baylor Fulbright S/R winners that demonstrate what winning essays look like.
