Faculty who are interested in the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program but unsure where to start – the Office of Fellowships can help!

Fulbright provides more than 400 funded awards each year to teach, conduct research and carry out professional projects in over 135 countries, and Wayne State faculty are regularly among the recipients. Now is the time to get started on your application, and the Office of Fellowships will assist you in finding the right opportunity.

Please join us for an upcoming virtual information session to learn more:

• Wednesday, Oct. 25, 3:30-4:30 p.m.: Fulbright Scholar virtual information session
• Thursday, Oct. 26, 9-10 a.m.: Faculty Fulbright advising hour occurring weekly through Dec. 7

All faculty members are encouraged to explore the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program and to recommend colleagues who would be strong candidates. When you complete the recommendation form, your colleague will receive an email from the Fulbright Program that provides helpful contacts, application guidelines, details on award offerings and the acknowledgement that an anonymous colleague thinks they would be a successful candidate! 

Fulbright is the U.S. government’s flagship international education and cultural exchange program, and we want you to be part of it.
