Educational Exchange_University Lecturers (Professors) and Research Scholars

Uses and Use Restrictions

Grants for professors (university lecturers) and research scholars are for three months to a full academic year. Most are tenable in one country. The lectureships permit the grantees to lecture, usually serving as visiting professors in institutions of higher learning. The research grants offer opportunities for U.S. citizens to undertake postdoctoral research at overseas universities, colleges, and certain research centers and institutes. Grants specify terms and conditions to meet the educational goals proposed by the grantee and approved by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board in making the award. Individual grants generally include round-trip transportation for the grantee, and in some cases for one or two dependents, a maintenance allowance, and an allowance for travel, books and services essential to the assignment. Short-term grants also available. Visit www.cies.org.
