The deadline for the upcoming Fulbright Doctoral Scholarship is 15th July, 2025. I am a 3rd year Ph.D student from one of the IISERs in India. I work at the interface of material science, epigenetics and cancer biology. I’m really interested in doing some research abroad during the tenure of my PhD.
I do not have any first author publications yet, but I’m about to submit one in the next couple of months. I do have a second author publication in a decent journal. I have won a best poster award in an international conference.
Is there a chance of getting selected depending on these achievements, or should I wait out for another year and apply in the next cycle? I’m hoping by that time I’ll have a couple more publications.
Also, it would be really helpful if someone could elucidate the whole application and selection procedure. Thanks!
