This 20-minute recording is for students and alumni who are planning to apply in fall 2026 for a 2027-28 Fulbright student grant. In this recording, MSU's Fulbright Program Advisor walks applicants through the process of getting started on a Fulbright application, providing a "tour" of the IIE website and pointing out a few helpful features.
Closed captions in English can be enabled by toggling the "CC" icon in the playback bar. For more information, explore the
MSU Fulbright website, and contact Joy Campbell with any questions.
NOTE for 2026 applicants: This was recorded in 2025; you will see some screen grabs with past deadlines, but rest assured that the information in this recording is still applicable for 2026 applicants. There is also mention of IIE employees being furloughed—that was in 2025 and IIE is fully functioning in 2026!
