You can also list the individual’s primary discipline or field of study and/or preferred country or region of grant. Including this additional information will allow us to further tailor our guidance. IIE/CIES will contact your colleague, providing valuable information about the award offerings and application process. This will not sign your colleagues up for any mailing list.

1. Share this email with interested colleagues; perhaps noting professional and personal impact that could result from completing a Fulbright grant. The following links will be useful for potential applicants:

• Application Guidelines: including sample project statements
• Review Criteria: to inform the various components of your application
• Outreach Events: a calendar of conferences, workshops, and webinars

1. The Core Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is distinct from the Fulbright Specialist Program. Applying for a Core grant could open up a world of other opportunities for you! Most grants are a semester in length, but there are many short-term or Flex opportunities for you to consider. Here we highlight a few:

• All Disciplines in Bolivia
• Fulbright-SyCip Distinguished Lecturing Award: Study of the United States in the Philippines
• All Disciplines (Flex) in Germany

The focus of the Core Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program differs from the Fulbright Specialist Program in several key aspects while still affecting positive change in international education. Whereas the Fulbright Specialist Program is entirely host-driven in its project outcomes, the Core Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program allows for longer-term collaborations between U.S. scholars and foreign faculty. Core awards can include research or teaching-only components.

The lifetime limits of Fulbright Scholar grants have been lifted in recent years. Although preference is given to applicants who have not completed a Core Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program grant, we do encourage alumni to apply to the program if they believe that there would be significant impact as a result of their project.

Thank you for your continued engagement with the Fulbright Scholar Program and for referring your colleagues to learn more about the application process. Please feel free to email with any questions; we look forward to working with prospective applicants.

Regards,
