Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program 2025-26 Competition Open
Wade B. Worthen, U.S. Scholar to Costa Rica
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program’s 2025-26 competition features over 400 awards offered in more than 130 countries. Fulbright U.S. Scholar Awards allow U.S. citizens to teach, research, and carry out professional projects abroad. We accept applications until September 16, 2024, but it’s not too early to see what’s possible.
We look forward to seeing you (virtually) in webinars throughout the year! Note that any times listed for webinars or events are in U.S. Eastern standard time. Can’t join us live? All webinars and slides are archived on our site.
Interested in Fulbright but unsure which award is for you? Join us next week for Global Hidden Gems of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Competition!
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar competition offers 400 individual awards around the world. While some are widely known, others simply do not garner as much attention. Join to hear more about awards considered by program staff to be Fulbright’s “hidden gems” of the competition. We will demystify award requirements, share tips for applying, and answer applicant questions live. If you’re interested in Fulbright but flexible on which award you might pursue, this webinar is for you!

Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program
Submit your application by June 3!
S-I-R provides U.S. institutions the chance to host a visiting international scholar for a semester or full academic year to teach while engaging with your community. S-I-R scholars add a new perspective to existing coursework, expand your international education efforts, and help your students learn about a particular world region or country. S-I-R applicant institutions are matched with scholars from around the world, making this an ideal opportunity for U.S. institutions who would like to engage more internationally but don’t already have connections abroad!
Final questions as you wrap up your institution’s application? Join us in May:
