Affiliation
Letter recommended but not required at deadline
It is the applicant’s responsibility to secure affiliation with an appropriate host institution. Under no circumstances will the U.S. Embassy aid in this process. It is strongly recommended that applicants identify appropriate host institutions for their projects and that they include affiliation letters with their Fulbright applications. While candidates may be able to take university coursework, independent research should be the primary grant activity.
Candidates should bear in mind that Marien Ngoubi University is the only public university in the Republic of Congo. It is based in Brazzaville, and has branch schools and colleges throughout that city.
