In addition to scholars from fields normally associated with the humanities, representatives of the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions and public life may be awarded fellowships if their work has humanistic dimensions. The center does not cover fringe benefits. In addition to the stipends, the center provides travel expenses for fellows and their dependents to and from North Carolina. Some 850 senior scholar awards in over 125 countries are offered in each competition. The Fulbright Scholar Program is open to a variety of participants.
