Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program’s U.S.-France/Senegal International Education Administrators Award supports a two-week group seminar for international education professionals and senior higher education officials. Participants learn about higher education systems, policies, and current issues through campus visits, briefings, networking, cultural activities, and meetings with government officials, university presidents, international center directors, professors, and researchers.
The seminar aims to strengthen support for student study abroad, faculty international research, campus internationalization, and future academic partnerships. The Fulbright Commission in France and the West African Research Center in Senegal design the itinerary and administer the program. Visits include universities and colleges in major cities in both countries. This is an organized group experience, not a self-directed research project, and offers no Flex option.
