Hello everyone,

I am writing a paper on the Fulbright program and I was hoping you could answer this brief survey based on your experience in the US as part of the Fulbright program. It should take you less than 10 min in total.

Please know that this is entirely anonymous, I do not even have your names, so please answer the survey honestly, there will be no repercussions at all. I will simply use aggregated results to emit hypotheses about the effectiveness of the Fulbright program in my paper.

I will also be conducting qualitative interviews, and if you would like to further share your experience through one of these, please contact me at [email protected] or 202 905 4268. You may also contact me there with any other questions and clarifications you might have.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project and so I would appreciate you completing all the questions. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking below.
