Overview
The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) Program assists American institutions of higher education underrepresented in international academic exchanges and allows foreign scholars to gain teaching experience in the United States. The Fulbright European Union Scholar-in-Residence (EUSIR) focuses specifically on strengthening expertise in European Union affairs by bringing to U.S. campuses scholars and professionals from the European Union.
One of the few Fulbright programs that serves institutions, SIR gives preference to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Native American tribal colleges, community colleges and small, liberal arts institutions. There are many opportunities for larger institutions to partner with preference organizations. Your institution is invited to learn how SIR can help advance its international presence, assist in faculty and curriculum development, and diversify the educational experiences of its students, scholars and surrounding community.
The Worldwide Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program brings scholars and professionals from abroad to lecture at U.S. colleges and universities for one semester or one academic year.
Instructions for Proposal
The proposal for the Fulbright Scholar-in- Residence Program should be succinct and focused. Begin with the Institutional Proposal Summary Cover Sheet and Table of Contents. (Forms can be found at the back of these guidelines or downloaded from the CIES Web site at www.cies. org.) Follow with a proposal narrative that: (1) describes your institution’s goals for developing or strengthening its international curriculum and (2) provides a clear idea of how the experience of hosting a Scholar-in-Residence will help achieve these goals.
The proposal narrative should be prepared as a Word document, not exceeding 15 double-spaced, one-sided, pages (or 20 pages for joint proposals) as follows:
Part I. Institutional Profile (not to exceed three pages)
This section is used to help reviewers determine if the institution is among those that will receive
priority in this program. Institutions that do not frequently have the opportunity for contact with Visiting Scholars and/or serve minority populations or students underrepresented in international exchange programs will receive priority.
Part II. Proposed Program for Scholar
Altogether, parts II-IV should not exceed 12 doublespaced, one-sided, pages using font size 11. The overall purpose of this section is to demonstrate the quality of the program you propose and the degree to which it meets the needs your institution.
Part III. The Scholar
Although many institutions applying under the program request a specific individual to fill the Scholar-in-Residence position, naming a Scholar is not required and does not affect the review of proposals.
Part IV. Grant Benefits and Cost Sharing
The United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, through the
Fulbright Scholar Program, provides Scholars a modest monthly stipend ranging from $2,500 to $2,900 (depending on the cost of living in the city where the Scholar will reside), as well as the following: round-trip international travel, an excess-baggage allowance, basic accident and sickness coverage, a settling-in allowance, a small professional allowance for books, services and professional travel within the United States, and a dependent allowance for up to two qualifying dependents. For full academic-year awards, the grant also provides round-trip travel for one qualifying dependent.
Part V. Attachments
Submission of required documents.
