Description
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program supports teaching, research, combined teaching/research, and professional or artistic projects in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean. Administered locally by the Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Embassy in Barbados, the award enables scholars to teach associate-degree, undergraduate, or graduate courses, conduct independent or collaborative research, and assist with faculty, curriculum, or program development. Research may follow the applicant’s interests or a host-designated project.
The award promotes international understanding and cooperation through academic and professional exchange. Scholars may also give public talks, mentor students, and engage with host communities. Projects may take place in any one of seven island nations, with affiliations at universities, community colleges, or other approved hosts.
