Deferment allowed for Fulbright Scholarship?

[InformMe123]

I know dental schools will not let you defer easily unless you have a very good reason. I was wondering though if dental schools would let you defer a year if you got the Fulbright Scholarship and got accepted to dental school in the same cycle?

Case-by-case basis. There was a dental student at either Iowa, Louisville, or Alabama who deferred an acceptance in order to research abroad in Europe. I'm sure other schools would be as accommodating.

It depends on the school and the case. My friend got a Fullbright and was allowed a deferment from New England. She did have to apply/explain to them though.
