The Fulbright Scholar Program's annual competition opened March 1 for lecturing and research grants in some 130 countries. Opportunities are open not only to college and university faculty and administrators, but also to professionals from the business community and government, as well as to artists, journalists, lawyers, independent scholars and many others.
Fulbright awards vary from two months to an academic year or longer.
While foreign language skills are needed in some countries, most lecturing assignments are in English. Some 80 percent of the awards are for lecturing. The basic eligibility requirements for a Fulbright senior scholar award are U.S. citizenship and the Ph.D. or comparable professional qualifications. For lecturing awards, university or college teaching experience is expected. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
