Notify professors and TAs well ahead of time for any letters of recommendation you need from them.

Step 6
Photocopy your application materials before sending them in, and keep a copy for your records.

Step 7
Keep in mind that the amount of money you'll receive (if you get a Fulbright) will vary according to the local living expenses of the place you want to visit.
