Description
This Fulbright Scholar award supports collaboration with Philippine academic and research institutions through teaching, research, or a combination of both. The Philippine-American Educational Foundation administers Fulbright in the Philippines. Scholars may teach undergraduate or graduate courses, pursue their own or host-designated research, supervise graduate theses, and consult on curriculum, program, and faculty development. Research involving local scholars receives preference, and affiliations outside Metro Manila are encouraged.
Projects are welcome in all disciplines. Areas of interest include U.S. and Philippine studies, civic education, urban and community development, democratic governance, environmental sustainability, human rights, information and communication technology, international law and relations, transnational issues, international trade and finance, STEM, and peace and conflict studies. The exchange also promotes international understanding through public talks, student mentoring, workshops, and engagement with host communities.
