Description
The ASLA-Fulbright Mid-Career Professional Development Grant (MCPD), administered by the Fulbright Finland Foundation, supports professionals and specialists in various fields undertaking professional enrichment in the United States. Projects may include further education, training, practical experience in actual operations, organizational visits, public lectures, and other professional experiences. The focus cannot be academic research or full-time studies.
The program aims to benefit both the participant and their wider professional field in Finland. It supports applicants seeking to advance their professions, address central challenges, and build international connections. Cultural exchange is integral: grantees act as citizen ambassadors, share knowledge during and after their stay, contribute to Finland–U.S. relations, and show genuine interest in participating in the Foundation’s alumni community.
