The following is excerpted from Mason's University News article (linked below):
Sarah Rose-Jensenis a doctoral student in the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution. She won a Fulbright Research/Study Grant to Cambodia. She’s originally from Southeastern Virginia, but has lived in the Washington, D.C./Northern Virginia area for about 10 years.
Fulbrights, and similar grants, are really competitive. Even if you have a good application, that is sometimes not enough. I recommend having as many people as possible who are familiar with the application read it, and apply for other funding streams as well.
Take advantage of the Office of Graduate Fellowships. Kay Agoston (graduate fellowship director) read my application, and helped out in a hundred other ways.
I wanted to pursue a Fulbright because it’s one of the most prestigious research grants in the world, and receiving a Fulbright validates my research. It also allows me to do 10 months of fieldwork in Cambodia, which is just amazing.
I want to publish my research as a book eventually, and to continue my research on social mobilization and social conflict in Southeast Asia.
