Selection of Host Institutions

 

1. Your application will be reviewed by FLTA Program staff at IIE. If we have questions or require further clarification, you will be contacted by e-mail.

   

2. If selected as a host institution, you will receive e-mail notification in late February of when you will receive your panel of FLTA candidates to review and rank. Candidate dossiers are sent electronically.

 

If you are not selected as a host institution or we are unable to meet your language request, we will notify you by e-mail.

   

3. Candidate dossiers are submitted to institutions based on the requested profile submitted to IIE in the host institution application form. Once you receive candidate dossiers to review, it is requested that you rank your preferred candidates and notify IIE of your selection by e-mail or fax within one week.

 

Some candidates are reviewed simultaneously by several potential host schools. IIE makes every effort to assign the school’s top choice. However, FLTAs are assigned on a first come, first served basis. If your first ranked candidate was selected by another institution prior to IIE receiving your ranking, you will be notified. IIE will request that we move on to your 2nd ranked candidate. In rare cases, if no acceptable candidate was identified in the first round, IIE will submit a new set of dossiers to the institution for review.

   

4. Once a candidate has been selected, the offer of assistantship is sent via the Fulbright Commission or U.S. Embassy in the FLTAs home country. Offers are sent electronically. FLTAs are given two weeks to accept or reject an offer. They receive only one offer. If they decline an offer from a host institution, their application is withdrawn.

   

5. IIE will receive the notification of an FLTA’s decision to accept or decline the offer and forward the decision to the host institution.

 

If the FLTA accepts, IIE:

  • provides the e-mail address of the FLTA to the host school and requests they begin (and continue) direct communication with their FLTA from that point forward.
  • processes immigration and grants documentation
  • arranges travel
  • arranges for placement in a pre-grant orientation program in the U.S.

If an FLTA declines, IIE:

  • requests permission of the host institution to offer the placement to the 2nd or 3rd ranked candidate
  • rarely, provides a second set of dossiers to the host school for review.
