This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award supports research, combined teaching and research, and professional or artistic projects in The Bahamas. Projects are sought in all disciplines and must take place at the University of The Bahamas, Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute, or Cape Eleuthera Island School. Approximately one recipient is supported. Fulbright is sponsored by the U.S. government through the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Scholars may conduct applicant-designed or host-designated research, teach undergraduate or graduate courses, mentor students, and support faculty, curriculum, or program development. Combined teaching/research projects typically allocate about 40% of time to teaching and 60% to research. Professional projects may involve consultations, exhibitions, performances, public lectures, or publications. Engagement with the host community advances Fulbright’s goals of international understanding and cooperation.
