Awards and Honors Fulbright Scholarships

Since 1946 the Fulbright Scholar Program has offered grants for college and university faculty, as well as for professionals and independent scholars, to lecture and conduct research in countries around the globe.

The goal of the Fulbright Scholar Program is “. . . to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries . . . and thus to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic, and peaceful relations between the United States and other countries of the world.” The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the United States Information Agency. Funding is provided by this agency and by participating governments and host institutions in the U.S abroad.

Some 700 senior scholar awards in over 120 countries are offered in each competition. Approximately one-quarter are for research and three-quarters for lecturing, combined lecturing and research, or seminar participation.
