USA: The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program (SIR) for Scholars to gain experience in U.S. higher education

Overview

The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) Program assists institutions historically underrepresented in international academic exchange and allows scholars outside the United States to gain experience in U.S. higher education.

Objective

The objective of the Fulbright Scholar-in- Residence (SIR) Program is to bring scholars and professionals from abroad to U.S. colleges and universities to significantly internationalize host institution campuses and curricula.

Preference is given to institutions that have infrequently hosted Visiting Scholars and serve student populations underrepresented in international exchange programs, and/or to colleges and universities that are Minority Serving Institutions. Such institutions include: small liberal arts colleges, community colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other Minority Serving Institutions.

Under the Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program, accredited U.S. institutions of higher education submit proposals to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) to request Scholars for one or both terms of the academic year. Scholars teach and consult in area studies programs, interdisciplinary programs that focus on global issues or courses where participation of a foreign Scholar can provide a cross-cultural or international perspective.
