The Institute of International Education (IIE) provides administrative support to the Fulbright Program.
American scholars download the application instructions on the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program website, and complete the online application.
When starting your application, please ensure that in the Country Selection stage, you Select Canada.
You may then Select the Award Number and Award Name. On each Fulbright Canada Awards page, are a list of awards with a corresponding Award Number. As you complete your application, you will also identify your Preferred Host Institution.
Applicants to the Fulbright Canada Traditional Scholar Award should arrange affiliation and include a letter of invitation from their preferred host institution(s).
For applicants to research chair awards, unless otherwise identified, formal letters of invitation are not required and not encouraged; however, applicants are encouraged to contact the institution to discuss research interests. Many of the Fulbright Canada Distinguished Chairs and Research Chairs are interdisciplinary, so please browse the various themes to find the Fulbright Canada Awards that best suit your expertise.
Should you be recommended for a Fulbright Canada Award, you may be asked to confirm your preferred Fulbright Canada Award and Host institution (e.g. "Fulbright Canada Research Chair in Society and Culture, University of Alberta"). You may also be asked to identify up to three Alternate Awards (additional Fulbright Canada Awards and their corresponding host institutions). This allows recommended applicants to be considered for multiple awards, enhancing their chance of placement.
