Funding opportunities
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
