Fulbright Scholar Program
For more than 65 years, American academics, administrators and professionals have taught and conducted research abroad through the Fulbright Scholar Program. Scholars have benefited from an enhanced appreciation of the global impact of their academic specializations, a reinvigorated classroom presence and a desire to become major participants in their home campuses鈥� internationalization. Fulbright helps faculty and administrators build a 鈥渕ultiplier effect鈥� by infusing cross-cultural perspectives into curricula, revitalizing teaching methods and opening doors for international colleagues and students.听
The Core Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program provides approximately听800 teaching and/or research grants听to U.S. faculty and experienced professionals in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.听听
The Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP) promotes linkages between U.S. scholars and professionals and their counterparts at host institutions overseas.听 The program awards grants to U.S. faculty and professionals approved to join the Specialist Roster in select disciplines to engage in short-term collaborative projects at eligible institutions in over 140 countries worldwide. Shorter grant lengths give Specialists greater flexibility to pursue projects that work best with their current academic or professional commitments.
The Fulbright Regional Network for Applied Research (NEXUS) Program will bring together a network of junior scholars, professionals and mid-career applied researchers from the United States, Brazil and other Western Hemisphere nations for a series of three seminar meetings and a Fulbright exchange experience.
Fulbright Flex Awards- In order to meet the changing needs of academia and develop new options to better accommodate the interests and commitments of today鈥檚 scholars, we have introduced several innovations to the Fulbright U.S. Core Program, including: Fulbright Flex Awards, Fulbright Postdoctoral/Early Career Awards, Salary Stipend Supplements, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language Awards.
The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program assists U.S. higher education institutions in expanding programs of academic exchange. By supporting non-U.S. scholars through grants for teaching at institutions that might not have a strong international component, both the U.S. institution and the scholar grantee benefit.
