If there are any current/previous Fulbrighters out there...

I am a PhD student applying for a research grant to France. I have very basic conversational skills (really basic!) because I have some french friends teaching me a few things. I will also be taking two semesters of French beginning this fall (in a week! AHH!).

I was told that filling out the language self evaluation would be helpful but I was wondering if I should also get the language eval filled out by a French faculty member here at my school. I don't know who my professor will be (probably a grad student) but they wont know me for very long before the evaluation would be due and so I am not sure it would be a very accurate representation...comments or suggestion?

I am in absolute shock! I am a second year grad student and I got an award!

After getting a rejection last year from NASA fellowship and a rejection this year from Fulbright already, I am so happy to finally get this validation of my hard work!

Congrats to others and to those not successful this time, do not give up! Take the reviewers critiques to heart and try try again!
