Why is the application, including references and Foreign Language Evaluations (FLE) submitted both electronically and in hard copy?
The Fulbright Application Review process takes place in several stages in the US and abroad. In some cases, only the paper copy is used for review and in other stages, applications are only reviewed online. Therefore, we need to have the application, references and the FLE in both formats. The only exceptions are letters of affiliation and transcripts which are submitted in original, hard copy format only. However, in extraordinary cases if your referee cannot complete the online reference, please ask them to include the FORM 9A: Study/Research Grant Reference Cover Sheet with the letter on institutional letterhead or the FORM 9B: ETA Reference Form. As with the printout of the online Reference, the referee must give you their reference in a sealed envelope.
