  1. Thanks for your suggestions everyone! I was actually able to change up my fellowship requirements so that I can finish out early. Yes, our director does have a reputation for being stringent and loves to enforce the red tape as much as he can. It's kindof the nature of bureaucracy and I understand why he has to do it.
  2. Hi All, I am in a situation where I am a current Fulbright ETA who signed a contract to be in country for 11 months (until June 30). However, I have also been selected for a International Affairs Fellowship that requires me to be in Washington by May 15. This breaches my Fulbright contract. I have spoken to my Fulbright director about this and the director was very serious that I keep with the contract. If I were to breach contract, I was told that the director would write to DC to excommunicate me from any Fulbright affiliation and also write to my graduate schools to explain that I can no longer claim Fulbright alumni status. I guess if you're aware of the few International Affairs Fellowship then you have basic idea of which one I am participating in (so much for anonymity). The director of the Fellowship said that they are also not flexible with their requirements, which puts me between a rock and a hard place. I suggested a compromise such as going to DC for orientation then flying back (out of pocket) and then leaving a little earlier once school exams were finished. Exams are done by 6/20. However, this was not an okay option. What are the pros and cons of early termination of this grant? I will have been in country for 9.5 months by the time I will have to leave for orientation, meaning that I have fulfilled 90% of my grant period. Furthermore, my students do not suffer because all the major lessons and school activities will be done by the time I leave (minus finals). Thoughts?
