I hereby certify that the information I have provided on this application form and in any attached materials is accurate,
complete and true to the best of my knowledge and belief, and I agree to notify AMINEF of any change in the above
information or of any further information that might affect my eligibility for consideration as a prospective recipient of
the Fulbright Scholarship award.
I understand that by completing this application form there is no assurance that I will be awarded a grant.
I understand that the scholarship offered is for the chosen and approved field and level of study program and I will not
change my enrollment without consent from AMINEF and its cooperatives.
I understand that no additional grant or study will be considered under this scholarship.
I understand I will meet all the course requirements of the US education institution based on the approved length of the

I understand I am not permitted to engage in employment beyond the J visa restriction and without consent from
AMINEF and its cooperatives.
I understand that I will return home upon the completion of my study as per J visa policy of the Two-Year Home Country
Residence Requirement.
I understand that I will not be eligible to continue my Fulbright selection process if I am accepting another scholarship

The Fulbright Program was initiated in Indonesia in 1952. Since then, thousands of scholars from Indonesia, including key
figures in the governmental, private and cultural sectors, have traveled and successfully studied for an advanced degree in the
United States. Since 1992, the American Indonesian Exchange Foundation (AMINEF) has been managing the Fulbright
Program in Indonesia as one of 50 binational Fulbright Commissions around the world. AMINEF was established in 1987 to
bring a higher level of cooperation and local involvement to the Fulbright Program. AMINEF runs an open, merit-based
competition for Fulbright grants. Applications are reviewed by AMINEF selection team. Those applicants who meet the
minimum standards of the program are then interviewed by a binational selection committee that includes experts from their
fields. The recommendations of the selection committee are reviewed by the AMINEF Board’s Educational Exchange
Committee. The resultant list of nominees is then sent to the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarships Board in Washington,
D.C., for final approval.
