Fulbright Scholar Program

Faculty and administrators are invited to apply for the Fulbright Scholar Program's annual competition for lecturing, research and lecturing/research grants in over 140 countries. Each year 800 American scholars go abroad as part of the Fulbright Scholar Program. Retired and adjunct faculty frequently receive grants as well.

Traditional Fulbright awards vary from two months to an academic year or longer. While foreign language skills are needed in some countries, most lecturing assignments are in English.

Application deadlines for 2005-2006 grants are:

May 1, 2004--Fulbright Distinguished Chairs awards in Europe and Canada. A new chair in Israel has also been added.

August 1, 2004--Fulbright lecturing and research grants worldwide.

November 1, 2004--Spring/summer seminars in Germany, Korea and Japan for international education and academic administrators as well as for the summer German Studies Seminar.
