Associate or full professor rank or the professional equivalent is preferred for all awards. Community college faculty are eligible for affiliation with undergraduate colleges. Applicants should be aware that there are sometimes lengthy delays in receiving visa authorization from the government of India, with the result that the starting date of the award may be delayed. Where a choice of institutional affiliation is possible, final confirmation of affiliation at a suitable institution will be made by the Fulbright Foundation in India following selection for an award. Some joint affiliations may be made.
