Fulbright applicants for independent research and creative arts awards design their own projects abroad and typically work with advisers at foreign universities or other institutes of higher education. A candidate will submit a Statement of Grant Purpose defining activities to take place during one academic year in a participating country outside the U.S.

LMU juniors, seniors, graduate students, and alumni are invited to learn how to begin a research or creative arts award application, including establishing an affiliation with a foreign university or Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and proposal components.
