GUIDELINES/INFORMATION FOR AFFILIATION LETTERS Fulbright US student Program Cycle 2011-12 1. The letter of affiliation can be short, as long as it states --who they are, what they do --knowledge of your project, aims (can be broad strokes) --nature of connection, how they might assist you, e.g., help you network, provide certain facilities, assist you with general resources and information, supervise your research, mentor you, collaborate with you, etc. -- enthusiasm about your chances of being awarded the Fulbright. NOTE: the salutation of the affiliation should simply read, Dear Fulbright Selection Committee: 2. ALSO tell your potential affiliations please read the following excerpt of how Fulbright describes the affiliation (http://newsletter.fulbrightonline.org/3.html#3): There are no specific requirements for the letter of support from the host institution. Every affiliation relationship will be different depending upon the candidates project. In general, letters of support on institutional letterhead sent with the application are preferred. The letters should state how the supervisor/host institution will help the applicant to facilitate the project (i.e., what resources will be offered, what kind of supervision will be given, etc.). Some applicants propose to do independent research, so these letters of support are more crucial to establishing the feasibility of a project. Other applicants propose study projects, so letters of support are really a complement to the overall application, but attest to its feasibility. Therefore, you should try to get a letter of support that is as detailed as possible. Ultimately, it is up to your host affiliation as to the level/kind of support that they are willing to offer you. 3. They can send the letter directly to you, and you deliver it to us to add to your application packet Fellowships and Scholarships Office Attn: Fulbright Advisors Warner Hall 530G Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
