By the way there are many types of Fulbright awards. There are teaching
awards for US citizens, research awards for US residents as well, and
there are dissertation awards for US students. There are similar awards
for candidates from abroad from their home countries. I was a recipient
of a Faculty Research award in 1991, carrying out field work in India and
Japan for 5 months, I am not a US citizen. I doubt politics should matter
really unless you are thinking of overthrowing the Fulbright institution
itself. Besides what is left and center and right are not all that
crystal clear either.
Cheers, Anthony
