Description
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program supports teaching, research, or a combination of both in Kuwait across all disciplines. Scholars may pursue their own research or host-designated projects, teach undergraduate or graduate courses, advise students, and assist with faculty, curriculum, or program development. There is a strong preference for curriculum development, program design, and student mentoring in research. Areas of interest include economic studies, innovation, space sciences, engineering, STEM, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.
Activities are agreed between the scholar and host institution, with no prescribed teaching-to-research ratio. Scholars may also give public talks and engage local audiences or media about their research. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Fulbright uses academic exchange to strengthen relationships between people in the United States and other nations and promote international understanding.
