Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program’s Bolivia award supports research, teaching, combined teaching/research, and professional or artistic projects in all disciplines. Scholars may pursue their own projects or research designated by a host, teach undergraduate or graduate courses, mentor students, and support faculty, curriculum, or program development. Applicants may propose an appropriate Bolivian higher education institution or an organization aligned with their project.
The award promotes practical collaboration, professional development, cross-cultural understanding, and lasting U.S.–Bolivian institutional relationships. Priority fields include economic development and entrepreneurship, technological innovation such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, clean energy and responsible mineral use, modern agroindustry and food security, public health and biotechnology, and infrastructure and logistics. Teaching scholars are expected to provide seminars, curriculum advice, or other requested assistance; all scholars may be asked to give public lectures and engage with the host community.
