Description
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program’s Tunisia award supports academics, artists, and professionals undertaking teaching, research, teaching/research combinations, or professional projects in any discipline. Host institutions welcome full-time teaching or research, or combinations conducted simultaneously or in separate semesters. Projects may include undergraduate and graduate courses, student mentoring, faculty and curriculum development, or research chosen by the applicant or host.
Professional projects can include artist residencies, organizational visits, practical experience, public lectures, and exchanges of expertise supporting a host organization’s development objectives. The U.S. government-sponsored program promotes international understanding and stronger relationships between people in the United States and other countries. Scholars may also give public talks, mentor students, and engage with their host communities. Teaching activities are finalized with the U.S. Embassy in Tunis and the host institution.
