Description
This Fulbright Scholar teaching award supports academic exchange in Egypt across arts, dance, drama and theater, film and cinema studies, music, and design. Administered locally by the Binational Fulbright Commission in Egypt, it offers up to two four-month awards. Host institutions are the Egyptian Academy of Arts and Helwan University; applicants may suggest another institution for Commission approval.
Scholars teach approximately 12 hours weekly, equivalent to three courses per semester, and conduct seminars or workshops appropriate to their specialization. Courses may be chosen by the scholar or designated by the host institution. Responsibilities also include student advising and mentoring and assistance with faculty, curriculum, or program development. Public talks and community engagement further the program’s goal of strengthening relationships and mutual understanding between Egypt and the United States.
