Who should write the institutional support statement?
An administrator of the institution who is knowledgeable about the applicant’s abilities and the institution’s language and area studies resources should write the institutional support statement. The statement should describe how the project will contribute to the institution’s plans for developing and strengthening its program in foreign languages and area studies. It should explain how the institution plans to utilize the faculty member’s experience upon completion of the fellowship and must endorse the project on the basis of the candidate’s professional competence, personal suitability and availability to accept the award if offered. This will be submitted via the Web.
