Question And Answer

Category Name: General Questions
 
My project doesn't really offer anything in the way of promoting cultural understanding (e.g., hard science projects). Am I still a competitive candidate?
 
Certainly, there are other ways that you can promote mutual and cultural understanding outside of your project. Grantees are encouraged to get involved in cultural and/or community activities, such as teaching English or American Studies, volunteering with a non-profit organization, or giving presentations to local groups or in schools. Everyone can do this no matter the nature of their projects and you should address ways that you can engage in the host community in your proposal.
