[@pretzelsfan]

omg--i subscribed because of your soc phd vids and now you're doing a fulbright too?! congratulations!!! i'm so glad you're on youtube as a resource for your viewers! i am also interested in applying for fulbright (after undergrad) and would love to hear your tips and watch your fulbright vlogs.

[@ScholarNoire]

aw thanks so much!

[@CheRhys]

I had to pause it after that intro. I'm so jealous of your French lol. My goal is to be more confident when speaking and of course to be fluent. I'll be moving to France one day! 🙏🏾

[@ScholarNoire]

merci beaucoup!! I'm working on it. and yes, you will! :)

[@PeacewithSha]

Congratulations! Wish you the best on your journey.

[@ScholarNoire]

thank you!

[@prettyproblem16]

Congratulations!!!!🍾🎈🎊🎉 Noire that is so AWESOME 👏🏿 could u talk about the other fellowship programs you applied to.

[@ScholarNoire]

thanks so much! and yes, I'll add that to the list of questions for the next video

[@evilxcupcake]

You are such an inspiration!

[@Mr-Sam-I-Am]

Congratulations! This is a huge accomplishment! I am so happy for you! I am actually thinking of writing the first draft of my master's thesis in Pairs next summer. If I do I will most likely be there for 3 months, at least that's the current plan. I am looking into short term rentals but can't book anything until January 2018 it all depends on securing a place at a decent rate. If I am there while you are we will have to grab a bite. You will also have to give me the break down on all the cool local things to do.

[@ScholarNoire]

thanks alexander! that would be magnifique, i hope you make it there.

[@Destinayyxnayy]

[@ScholarNoire]

[@khloe38]

Congratulations! Cant wait to see u in Paris and for Paris videos!. Also...did i see a kitty? Totally nonacademic question...but...what will you do with your cat while away?

[@ScholarNoire]

haha yes, i have a friend who will watch her for me, but i will miss her terribly.

[@JoeHinkle11]

Congratulations! I'm taking a gap year to start my business and then applying for a Fulbright next year.

[@yelhsaiightmuaxx]

This is AMAZING Congratulations!! How is it going? I am thinking on applying as well but I am so worried, I want to go to Colombia and do the English teacher assistant. So scared to even reach out to the advisor of my school

[@ScholarNoire]

thank you! it's going really well. don't be afraid! i can do a video on this! the advisor is a conduit for your dreams, their job is to help you. if they are unhelpful, find someone else who is.go for it!

[@yelhsaiightmuaxx]

You are so encouraging! Thank you so much!!

[@shawneejohnson5023]

Omg congratulations!!!! That's so exciting! Was this your first time applying? I heard that you can apply for a Fulbright once as an undergrad and once as an actual grad student. I'm about to finish up my last semester as an undergrad in the fall and I was thinking about applying. Also, how was the process of putting together your research proposal? And did you mention your KZbin channel as an additional aspect of being a researcher?

[@ScholarNoire]

Thanks Shawnee! Yes it's my first time - I'm not 100% sure what the application rules are for grad/undergrad. I will talk about the process of my proposal in another video -- and nope I didn't mention the KZbin channel :) If you want it, go for it!

[@evilxcupcake]

Would also like to know if you could do a video about which program you are doing, and what the requirements are. Do you have to be a PhD student or be studying at a graduate level? Also I guess I would love some advice on how you got to this point. I have a bachelor's degree but am looking to get a PhD in a really competitive field so I'm loving your channel.

[@ScholarNoire]

i am doing a Ph.D in sociology - every program is different, so I suggest you look at potential schools' website or my video "4 essential skills you need". You don't need to be a Ph.D or grad student to win a Fulbright grant, check out the website for requirements. thanks for watching!

[@dionnadaniel6107]

Hi Scholar Noire, what were the other fellowships to be in France did you apply for?

[@kellychong9404]

Hi, I love your blog! I am planning on applying for a Fulbright my senior year and was wondering if you had to do a ton of extracurriculars and leadership experience to stand out as an applicant?

[@vmjlovebooks3109]

Are you going to do a video on your preparation in moving to Paris?

[@ScholarNoire]

yesss! it will give me impetus to be more systematic!

[@1983Marianne]

what kind of research are you planning to undertake??

[@ScholarNoire]

broadly, expats in paris!

[@yvetterocksyeah]

Scholar Noire Can you do a video about your research? I will love to know more about it ❤️

[@summersunsets13]

congrats!

[@ScholarNoire]

thank you :)

[@vampiricmuse]

you mentioned you didn't have an international sponsor...how did you handle that?

[@ScholarNoire]

lol i didn't mean to mislead -- i searched quite hard and ended up with multiple. 2 letter-writers and multiple general mentors!

[@fatine]

Hi! Would love to meet you in Paris :) Hit me up!
