The deadlines shown here pertain to Yale College seniors who wish to participate in Yale College's campus process for Fulbright. The campus process includes an conversation with a member of Yale's Fulbright committee in order to provide IIE/Fulbright with a Campus Committee Evaluation form, outlining impressions of the student and their application. It can also be an opportunity for the applicant to receive feedback on their Fulbright materials prior to submitting those materials by the national deadline.

Yale College seniors are strongly encouraged to participate in the campus review process. Yale College alums do not participate in the campus review process and must apply to Fulbright by the national deadline. Both graduating seniors and alums should list Yale as their home institution on the "Award Information" section of the Fulbright application regardless of whether they participate in the campus process.
