Description

This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award supports academic exchange in Nigeria through teaching, combined teaching and research, and professional or artistic projects. Scholars may teach undergraduate or graduate courses, mentor students, supervise theses and dissertations, review curricula, develop courses and training manuals, and organize faculty-development seminars or workshops. Research may accompany teaching responsibilities. Professional projects are particularly encouraged in film, theater, and fine arts.

All disciplines are welcome, with particular interest in humanities and social sciences, American studies, business administration, conflict management, economics, information and communication technology, journalism, law, mass communications, and political science. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered through the Institute of International Education (IIE), Fulbright promotes international understanding and U.S.–Nigeria relationships. Scholars may also be asked to give public talks and engage with host communities.
