Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program’s Ethiopia award supports combined teaching and research in all disciplines. Scholars teach graduate courses, supervise graduate projects, advise theses, lead seminars and tutorials, develop curricula, and conduct research in their specialization. The award emphasizes student mentoring, faculty and program development, university outreach, and strengthening Ph.D. programs at designated Ethiopian universities.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Fulbright promotes international understanding through academic exchange and community engagement. Scholars are expected to give public talks and engage with their host communities alongside their academic work. The U.S. Embassy’s Public Affairs Section in Addis Ababa encourages partnerships between U.S. and Ethiopian universities and consideration of hosts outside the capital.
