Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


The Outreach Lecturing Fund (OLF) provides travel funding for Fulbright Visiting Scholars to visit campuses across the U.S. The OLF travel award is designed to enrich both institutions and Visiting Scholars through lectures that will promote academic disciplines and cultural understanding. Additionally, the OLF seeks to build relationships and partnerships with institutions that are currently underrepresented within the Fulbright Program as a means to promote future opportunities. 

OLF Enables U.S. Institutions to Invite Fulbright Visiting Scholars to:
     • Give department or campus-wide lectures to students or faculty (or both);
     • Hold lectures in classrooms where the scholar can make a contribution to the discipline or country/regional
        understanding;
     • Meet with faculty to allow for an exchange of ideas;
     • Have informal gatherings with students and faculty;
     • Meet with community organizations, professional, cultural or religious groups, K-12 schools and school districts
        that have a special interest in international relations.

If you are interested in bringing a Fulbright Visiting Scholar to your campus, please consult the Fulbright Visiting (Non-U.S.) Scholar List. For more information, please view our webinar or contact olf@iie.org.

The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the U.S. government’s flagship international exchange program and is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world.
