This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award supports teaching and combined teaching/research in the Kyrgyz Republic, promoting international understanding through academic exchange. Scholars teach undergraduate or graduate courses, mentor students, contribute to faculty and curriculum development, and may give public lectures. Teaching awards may involve up to three courses. Combined awards split activities 50/50 and may include one course per semester, graduate advising, or faculty training alongside research.
All disciplines are welcome. Priorities include English-language and STEM education, education for students with disabilities, IT, mineral resources, water use, agriculture, engineering, disaster response, energy, health, and economic development. Projects may also explore minority communities, languages, cultures, history, international relations, government, literature, arts, and society. Teaching connected to the knowledge economy—including ecommerce, design, filmmaking, architecture, urban planning, and tourism—is encouraged.
