What is the Fulbright US Scholar Program? ▾

Fulbright Scholars – college and university faculty, administrators, and researchers, as well as artists and professionals – build their skills and connections, gain valuable international insights, and return home to share their experiences with their students and colleagues.  

The Fulbright Scholar Program for academics and professionals awards more than 800 fellowships each year for US Scholars to go abroad. As a Fulbright Scholar, you’ll make meaningful contributions to communities abroad and at home, as well as in your chosen field. You’ll also advance your career by joining a network of accomplished alumni serving as leaders and educators across the globe.
