Description
The Fulbright-Eszterházy Scholar Award supports teaching or combined teaching and research at Eszterházy Károly Catholic University in Eger, northern Hungary. Offered through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program, it enables scholars to teach undergraduate or graduate courses, pursue their own research, or join university research projects. Scholars normally teach two courses, reduced to one when the research component is more substantial. Teaching is in English, with no preferred teaching/research time split.
The award also supports student mentoring, faculty training, and curriculum development. Scholars may engage with Fulbright alumni, conduct community outreach, connect with the local English-speaking community, participate in local media, and give invited guest lectures at other Hungarian universities. These exchanges advance Fulbright’s mission of strengthening relationships between the United States and other nations through international understanding and cooperation.
