The flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, widely known asthe Fulbright Program, is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States

and those of other countries. ith this goal as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided more than

!"",""" participants#chosen for their leadership potential#with the opportunity to observe each other$s

political, economic and cultural institutions, exchange ideas and embark on %oint ventures of importance to the

general welfare of the world.

The Fulbright Program was established in &'() under legislation introduced by former Senator *. illiam

Fulbright of +rkansas. The Fulbright Program is administered by the ureau of -ducational and ultural

+ffairs of the United States /epartment of State.

Since the establishment of the Program, (),0"" Fulbright 1isiting Scholars have conducted research or taught

in U.S. universities, and more than (2,3"" Fulbright U.S. Scholars have engaged in similar activities abroad.

The Fulbright Program awards approximately 0"" grants to 1isiting Scholars each year. urrently, the Program

operates in over &22 countries worldwide.The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by the United States

ongress to the /epartment of State. Participating governments and host institutions in foreign countries and in

the United States also contribute financially through cost4sharing and indirect support, such as salary

supplements, tuition waivers and university housing.

The J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB), composed of &3 educational and public leaders

appointed by the President of the United States, formulates policy for the administration of the Program,

establishes criteria for the selection of candidates and approves candidates nominated for awards.

The United States Department of State, Bureau of ducational and !ultural "ffairs,develops policies to

assure fulfillment of the purposes of the Program and administers it with the assistance of educational

commissions and foundations in 2" countries that have binational agreements with the United States for

continuing exchange programs, U.S. -mbassies in '" other countries and a number of cooperating agencies in

the United States.

Binational commissions and foundationsdraw up the annual program plan for exchanges, in consultation

with participating universities and organi5ations in the host country. They also screen, interview, and

recommend to the FS 6ualified candidates for student and faculty grants under their exchange programs. 7n a

country without a commission or foundation, the Public +ffairs Section of the U.S. -mbassy develops the

program and supervises it locally.

The !ouncil for #nternational $change of Scholars (!#S), under a cooperative agreement with the

/epartment of State, administers the Fulbright Scholar Program for faculty and professionals. 7-S is a

division of the 7nstitute of 7nternational -ducation 877-9 and has close working relationships with the ma%or

disciplinary bodies in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. /uring the terms of their grants in

the United States, Fulbright lecturers and researchers are assisted by 7-S.

#he Fulbright Program and 'eneral Re.uirements(/%R/"% (F #$% FU&R"'$# S*$(AR PR('RA)

The mission of the Fulbright Scholar Program is to increase mutual understanding between the people

of the United States and people of other countries. 7t aims to provide educational exchange

experiences to a maximum number of individuals not previously afforded such an opportunity. The

experience should be of intrinsic value to the scholar, the recipient$s home institution, its faculty and

its students, as well as to the U.S. host institution. Fulbright Scholars serve as cultural ambassadorsand should be prepared to speak about their countries, cultures and research to academic and

community groups.

The Program has provided thousands of scholars with the opportunity to establish professional

contacts in their field and make long4lasting friendships with colleagues in the United States? to

develop collaborative research relationships with U.S. scholars? and to enhance their scholarly

publications and other contributions with research conducted in the United States. Finally, for many

faculty, the Fulbright Program offers an opportunity to pursue scholarly work without interruption.

y doing research, guest lecturing, and pursuing other scholarly interests in a completely different

environment, scholars return home personally invigorated and professionally stimulated.

+A#UR% (F 'RA+#S@rant benefits vary according to the provisions of the program in each participating country. +ll

Fulbright grants include limited insurance coverage for accident and sickness. Aost awards provideinternational travel for the grantee to and from the host institution in the United States. +bout :"

percent of Fulbright grantees also receive maintenance grants provided by the U.S. /epartment of

State or binational Fulbright ommissions. Bther scholars receive financial support from host

institutions in the United States, private foundations or their home institutions or governments. Some

also use personal funds to supplement their grants.

Aost grants are awarded for a period of three to &3 months, including extensions. Particular country

or regional programs may have specific guidelines concerning the duration of grants and other special

criteria that applicants should consider in their applications.

+ grant may be revoked, terminated, or suspended. @rounds for revocation or termination include,but are not limited to= 8&9 violation of any law of the United States or the home country? 839 any act

standards? 8(9 physical or mental incapacitation? 829 engaging in any unauthori5ed income4producing

activity? 8)9 failure to comply with the grant$s terms and conditions? 8:9 material misrepresentation

made by any grantee in the application form or grant document? 809 conduct which may have the

effect of bringing the U.S. /epartment of State or the Fulbright Program into disrepute? and 8'9

violation of the policies of the *. illiam Fulbright Foreign Scholarship oard 8FS9.

+ grant may be suspended if 8&9 the grantee ceases to carry out the pro%ect or academic program

Bne of the most important components of the Fulbright Scholar Program is a formal affiliation at aU.S. University or research institution. 7n many cases, applicants are in contact with colleagues at

U.S. institutions and have made preliminary plans for their own placements by securing a letter of

invitation from the prospective host institution. Gowever, if you are unable to make these preliminary

contacts, you are strongly encouraged to identify two or three institutions that have appropriate

facilities for the kind of pro%ect you wish to undertake and faculty speciali5ed in your research

interests. Please indicate the rationale for your preferences.

hen determining which institutions to include on your preferred list, do not limit yourself to only

large research institutes and the most well4known U.S. universities. onsider listing other institutions

such as community colleges, regional universities or Ainority4Serving 7nstitutions 8which include

Gistorically lack olleges and Universities, Gispanic4Serving 7nstitutions and Tribal olleges and

Universities9. These schools are often engaged in many dynamic areas of teaching and research.Though many U.S. institutions may not have an international reputation, they often do have

appropriate facilities for scholars to conduct research. Scholars placed in these smaller and less

renowned institutions often are given greater attention than their colleagues who are affiliated with

larger and more well4known universities.

7f you have studied previously in the United States, you should avoid seeking affiliation at your U.S.

alma mater. This is to ensure that you expand your contacts within the U.S. academic community.

The task of affiliation is substantially facilitated if you have a pro%ect that is clearly defined and well

written. Prospective host institutions will also want to be assured that you can conduct research in -nglish.

not to exceed the page restrictions. +t the same time, you should avoid writing a proposal so brief

that it will be difficult for the reviewer to understand the pro%ect.

-mphasi5e key points in the first paragraph of the proposal. Heviewers examine many Fulbrightapplications, and having to search for the main points of the proposed activity is not helpful. Cou

should grab the reviewer$s attention 6uickly and state clearly what you want to do, why it is

important and how you will do it. Cou should use the rest of the proposal to support the

statements in your opening paragraphs.

Pay attention to style in your proposal. Cou may want to use the first person, but you should

avoid flooding your proposal with D7$sE or referring to yourself in the third person.

/o not use excessive %argon. Oeep your proposal simple and straightforward so that an educated
