Description
This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award supports academics, artists, and professionals undertaking research, combined teaching/research, or professional projects in South Korea. Proposals must have a particular focus on Korea or be comparative in nature. The award welcomes social sciences, arts, and humanities projects, including qualitative, quantitative, scientific, and practice-based artistic inquiry. Outcomes may include publications, presentations, compositions, exhibitions, performances, and films.
Teaching/research projects may combine activities in any proportion, including undergraduate or graduate teaching, mentoring, and curriculum development. Professional projects support consultations, artistic work, exchange of expertise, and practical experience advancing the applicant’s field. Administered in Korea through the Korean-American Educational Commission, the award also promotes international understanding and U.S.–Korean relationships. Scholars may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, or otherwise engage with their host community.
