ETA SOGP Questionnaire

Before completing the questionnaire, carefully read each section of the ETA grant page on the Fulbright website for your chosen country. You do not have to complete and submit this questionnaire in one sitting; you can click submit at any time. Once you submit, an email will be sent to you; there will be a link within that email for you to edit your response. Once you answer ALL of the questions (please provide an answer to every question), we will be in touch to propose a conversation or encourage you to go to the next step - drafting your Statement of Grant Purpose.
