Fulbright Scholars Program

Fulbright Scholar Program - opportunities for faculty and scholars

The Fulbright Scholar Program offers nearly 500 teaching, research or combination teaching/research awards in over 160 countries. Opportunities are available for college and university faculty and administrators as well as for professionals, artists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, independent scholars and many others. In addition to several new program models designed to meet the changing needs of U.S. academics and professionals, Fulbright is offering more opportunities for flexible, multi-country grants. To learn more about this range of programs visit the Fulbright Scholar Program site at https://fulbrightscholars.org/

Note: Pairing a sabbatical with a Fulbright award is one of the best ways to make the most of a Fulbright grant.
