IIL2 Fulbright Scholars Program

About the Fulbright Program 

The Fulbright Program Links to an external site., the United States government’s flagship program of international educational and cultural exchange, offers passionate and accomplished students and scholars in more than 160 countries the opportunity to study, teach, conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to mutual understanding. Fulbright Scholars can be college and university faculty, administrators, and researchers, as well as artists and professionals

Opportunities for Faculty, Staff, and Schools

Faculty of all ranks can apply for teaching and/or research awards offered by the Fulbright Scholar Program.  Fulbright opportunities range from a few months to a full year and many of the 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.

Teaching or researching through Fulbright can help faculty to internationalize their own professional practice, widen their international network, inspire teaching and research ideas, and enrich their courses and student interactions.
