By humanrightsathome

It’s hard to get your mind around international travel at the moment, but applications for a Fulbright in 2021-2022 are due soon, so imagine a post-pandemic future and consider applying!  Here are some of the possibilities:

Experienced Scholars

The Fulbright program has over 450 awards available across the globe open to either specific, multiple or all disciplines. The complete list of opportunities is located in the Catalog of Awards, but please note these awards are open to U.S. citizens only. Opportunities range from 2 to 12 months in length and some awards include flexible options for multiple short visits. The application deadline is September 15, 2020. Interested applicants can join My Fulbright and check out webinars for insight on the application process. 

Senior Leadership

The Fulbright International Education Administrator (IEA) Seminars provide funding both for U.S. senior higher education officials and international education professionals to create empowering connections with the societal, cultural and higher education systems of other countries.

If you fall into this category, think about applying!  The U.S.-France IEA in particular is looking for senior leaders such as deans, directors, vice presidents, provosts and presidents.  Grants generally include economy round-trip airfare, travel within the host country, lodging, and a lump sum supplement for incidentals.  For more information, please visit the Fulbright website or email IEA@iie.org.

Fulbright provides funding opportunities for Ph.D. students and postdocs. Students in all disciplines can apply for open study/research awards through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Graduating Ph.D. students and early career scholars are suitable to apply for awards through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program.
