In short
The plagiarism agreement in the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) application says some US host institutions may scan applications for AI-generated language. It also says that pasting generative AI content directly into an application may hurt admission or affiliation decisions.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
For applicants
- Applicants to the Fulbright FLTA Program should know that copying language or content from generative AI directly into the application may negatively affect admission or affiliation decisions. Institutional policies vary widely, and responses from US universities will continue to change. [1]
