Many students both undergraduate and graduate look for scholarships and grants to be able to travel and study abroad. Those who wish to travel and conduct their graduate research have spent months and years gathering information on their respective choice of countries, learning the appropriate language, and seeking a scholarship grant to support their endeavor overseas. In the United States, college students who wish to receive one of the prestigious Fulbright grants as a financial support while they study, teach or research abroad compete against other students nationwide. The selection process is rigorous, and those who wish to be selected must submit their record of personal attributes and study, teaching or research proposals. Even though the selection process is rigorous, the quality of the selectees does not guarantee success. They may encounter daunting challenges once they enter the overseas environment and in some cases completion of their planned period abroad may prove problematic. What can be done to prepare the students for the challenges and/or difficulties so the rates of success among Fulbright researchers are increased?

520 $a The purpose of this study was to uncover and analyze the successes, challenges and difficulties of Fulbright students during their time in China and Vietnam and afterward. Many Fulbright students had a limited time to complete their research. This research focused on the celebration of successes as well as identification of strategies to overcome the challenges and difficulties facing students doing such research.
520 $a A qualitative method design and data analysis was used, employing questionnaires and interviews. This study took the form of survey case study research design. The sample for this study encompassed ten American Fulbright students drawn from the 1998--1999, 1999--2000 and 2000--2001 United States Student Grantees Classes. From the respondents' suggestions above, it is hoped that future Fulbright students will be prepared for all the experiences while conducting research in China or Vietnam.
