Fulbright Scholar Program

The Fulbright Scholar Program is offering lecturing/research awards in some 140 countries for the 2004-2005 academic year.

Opportunities are available not only for college and university faculty and administrators, but also for professionals from business and government, as well as journalists, lawyers, scientists, artists, independent scholars and many others.

Traditional Fulbright awards are available from two months to an academic year or longer. A new short-term grants program--the Fulbright Senior Specialists Program--offers two-to-six-week grants in a variety of disciplines and fields.

While foreign language skills are needed in some countries, most Fulbright lecturing assignments are in English. Some 80 percent of the awards are for lecturing.

Application deadlines for 2004-2005 awards are:

• May 1, 2003 for Fulbright Distinguished Chair awards in Europe, Canada and Russia
• August 1, 2003 for Fulbright traditional lecturing and research grants worldwide
• Rolling deadline for Fulbright Senior Specialists Program.
