Overview
<p>The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is the largest program of its kind in the United States, awarding more than 800 fellowships annually. Over 400 different types of opportunities are available to teach, research and conduct professional projects in more than 135 countries. Whether you are higher education faculty and administrators, or, professionals, artists, journalists, scientists, and independent scholars outside of the academy, the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program has international opportunities to fit your needs and further your goals.</p> <p>The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program offers three unique opportunities (1) Global Scholar Award, (2) Public Policy Fellowship, (3) Arctic Initiative; and four types of activities (1) Teaching, (2) Research, (3) Teaching/Research; and (4) Professional Projects).</p> <p>Fulbright Scholar Awards comprise the bulk of awards offered and include opportunities for professionals, artists, and scholars at all career-levels. Location and eligibility vary across all awards, and some awards may be restricted to certain career levels or types of scholars. This information is outlined in the award description. Fulbright opportunities range from a few months to a full year and many of our awards offer flexible durations. Each award outlines the duration and potential start dates. Many awards offer a Flex option which is designed for Scholars who require multiple visits to the host country. This option allows grants to be conducted over short segments, preferably during the fall and/or spring semesters. Applicants should clearly indicate plans for Flex in their project statement and include a project timeline.</p>
Solicitation Limitations: <p>Applicants must hold U.S. citizenship at the time of application. Permanent residence is not sufficient. Applicants who have resided abroad for five or more consecutive years in the six-year period preceding the application deadline are ineligible. A period of nine months or more during a calendar year constitutes a full year.</p> <p>Award descriptions specify where a Ph.D., other terminal degree, or comparable professional qualifications are required.
