Transforming Scholarship Through the Fulbright Scholar Program

Each year, the Fulbright Scholar Program provides opportunities for nearly 800 professors, professionals, administrators, and artists to go abroad for research, teaching, or conducting a professional or artistic project.

This webinar will cover why Fulbright awards are transformational professional development opportunities, eligibility criteria, and how to select the best award for you.  We will also discuss how to bring foreign Fulbrighters to your campus for short-term lecturing, research collaboration, or teaching for a semester or a year.
