Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program

Through the Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program, institutions host a scholar from outside of the United States for a semester or full academic year to teach courses, assist in curriculum development, guest lecture, develop study abroad/exchange partnerships and engage with the campus and the local community. S-I-Rs work across departments and curricula in a variety of ways to widely enhance or expand an existing international program, develop new world area studies programs, add an international dimension to existing coursework or provide an opportunity for American students to learn about a particular world region or country.

The institution benefits from the expertise provided, and the Scholar attains experience in the U.S. higher education arena. Host institutions will mobilize community partners to provide the visiting scholar with opportunities to learn about American culture, participate in speaking engagements, and contribute to community activities. Through these activities the institution can bolster its ability to teach courses in critical disciplines.

S-I-R applicant institutions may and are encouraged to propose topics in critical disciplines that suit their institution’s needs.
