Research grants are for 3 to 10 months. The first semester of the academic year starts in September and ends in January. The second semester begins in mid-February and ends in June. Lecturing grantees will do some undergraduate teaching, but most of their time will be spent consulting and advising their host institutions on curriculum and program development and providing staff training.
All teaching is in English.
Unless otherwise indicated in the award descriptions, applicants must have a minimum of 5 years of university teaching experience. During the grant period, grantees may be invited to lecture in other parts of Vietnam or in other countries in the East Asia and Pacific region. Schooling opportunities for dependent children are limited. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
