Through the Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program (S-I-R), U.S. colleges and universities collaborate with scholars from other countries to assist in internationalizing U.S. campuses, curriculum, and communities. Fulbright S-I-Rs teach primarily on the undergraduate level in their areas of expertise and provide a cross-cultural or international perspective to promote curriculum and program development. Their activities typically enhance the institution’s international/global studies programs, interdisciplinary course/program offerings, and broaden international cooperation. In addition, Fulbright S-I-Rs are expected to engage in on-campus and community activities in various ways throughout the program’s duration. S-I-R grants are for either one semester or an academic year.
Institutional proposals from U.S. colleges and universities are reviewed and recommended for Fulbright S-I-R Awards through a competitive process administered by the Institute of International Education/Council for International Exchange of Scholars in coordination with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). Any accredited U.S. institution of higher learning is eligible to apply, but particular encouragement is given to Minority-Serving Institutions, small liberal arts colleges, rural institutions, and community colleges.
Candidates are sought for awards at U.S. institutions of higher learning to:
• Teach courses from a comparative or international perspective,
• Serve as a resource person in interdisciplinary courses or professional programs,
• Participate in special seminars or colloquia that will benefit from the scholar’s perspective, and
• Assist in developing new courses or programs or in upgrading existing course materials.
In addition, candidates for S-I-R awards must be prepared to fulfill campus and community engagement activities. Examples include:
• Serving as a resource for faculty and students in various ways
• Participating in campus and community life
• Speaking at civic, professional, and cultural organizations and schools
• Engaging with local media
