U.S. Student program is designed to provide opportunities for personal development and international experience through 1 year's residence in virtually any country of the world. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to, university course work, dissertation research, or classes in a music conservatory or art school. Fellows are appointed as Assistant Professors or Research Scientists and are expected to be in residence in Ann Arbor during the three academic years of the fellowship, to teach for the equivalent of one academic year, and to participate in the intellectual life of the society. The American Council on Education invites nomination of candidates for its annual ACE Fellows Program, which is designed to identify and develop future leaders in higher education. Each institution of higher education may nominate two candidates.
