Description

The Fulbright Global Scholar Award supports U.S. academics, artists, and appropriately qualified professionals undertaking collaborative research, combined teaching and research, or professional projects in their areas of specialization. All disciplines, including interdisciplinary work, are welcome. Activities may include undergraduate or graduate teaching, artistic projects, student mentoring, curriculum and faculty development, and workshops.

Part of the U.S. government’s Fulbright exchange program, the award seeks to strengthen relationships between people in the United States and other nations through international understanding and cooperation. Projects connect scholars with host institutions and communities across countries, with activities in each location building on one another. Proposals involving countries in the developing world are especially encouraged. Scholars may also be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with host communities beyond their primary project.
