unalove:

People win things based on what they DO, not where they GO. One thing that people don’t talk about much is how a lot of the headliner scholarships-- Trumans, Marshalls, Rhodes-- go to kids who attend schools you haven’t heard of.

The Fulbright in particular looks very closely at where applicants are applying to study/work and what they plan to do there. Countries like the UK get hundreds of applications for only a dozen grants, whereas others like Albania have more grants available than applications.
