 bmit a project proposal to the Fulbright Commission or U.S. Embassy in the
 ir country. If a Fulbright Commission/U.S. Embassy approves a project prop
 osal\, that proposal is forwarded to the ECA\, for further review and appr
 oval. A project is only officially approved after the review by ECA. The e
 ntire application process is outlined here.\n\nDeadline:      Rolling
