Description

This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award supports academic and professional exchange in the Dominican Republic, with approximately two recipients. Scholars may teach undergraduate or graduate courses, mentor students, develop curricula and programs, conduct independent or collaborative research, or undertake professional and artistic projects. Applicants propose their hosts, including universities, community colleges, government agencies, cultural centers, museums, and nonprofits.

The program seeks to strengthen relationships between people in the United States and the Dominican Republic through international understanding and community engagement. All disciplines are welcome, with particular interest in STEM, security, international trade and economic growth, and education. Scholars may also be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with their host communities beyond their primary project.
