All finalized participants will receive a Country Handbook prior to their Pre-Departure Orientation. Once received, please review the handbook in its entirety, as it will contain important country- and Post- specific information for your Program.
We invite you to contact these Fulbright alumni for questions or advice prior to the start of your program. They can be excellent resources for unofficial questions – what type of clothing to bring, how to open a bank account, and more.
