Introducing Fulbright Flex Awards

Deadline to Apply: August 1, 2013

In order to engage U.S. scholars unable to spend extended periods of time abroad, the Fulbright Scholar Program welcomes applications from faculty and researchers who propose multiple, short-term stays in the host country over a period of two to three years. Flex Awards are also designed for scholars who require multiple visits abroad to accomplish their research objectives. In addition to their research activities, Flex award scholars will be required to give public talks, participate in seminars, mentor students, and otherwise engage with the host country academic community. Specific details on invitation requirements and grant length will vary by country, and can be found in each individual award listing. For more information about this new program model, visit our website or the Fulbright Scholar Blog.

The deadline to apply for the core Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is August 1, 2013. To learn about the full range of Fulbright Scholar Program opportunities and eligibility requirements, visit: www.iie.org/cies.

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.
