Description
Fulbright Israel’s Distinguished (Senior) Scholar Fellowship supports four-month visits to Israeli institutions of higher education. Open to all fields of knowledge, the program offers up to eight fellowships for senior faculty members, professionals, and accomplished artists or writers. Proposed activities may involve research, lecturing, or a combination of both, with the program of work developed through direct contact with prospective host institutions.
The fellowship promotes mutual understanding between the United States and Israel through scholarly, professional, and artistic exchange. Academic excellence, or equivalent professional or artistic excellence, is the primary selection priority. Leadership and skills that advance mutual understanding also matter. Fulbright Israel seeks representation of the United States’ various geographic regions and ethnic groups among American fellows, and complements institutional visits with cultural and academic events.
