Should benefits be the main motivation in essays?

No. Benefits can explain feasibility, but reviewer-facing motivation should center on the project and exchange purpose.

What is a common mistake?

A common mistake is treating the term as a label instead of connecting it to verified requirements, applicant evidence, and the specific Fulbright award context.
