Fulbright-Kennan Scholar Program for Russian Students

Overview

The Fulbright-Kennan Program competition is run within the framework of the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program competition. With very few exceptions, the competition procedures and requirements as well as the required paperwork are similar for the two programs.

General Information

Annually, the Fulbright-Kennan Scholar Program offers Russian citizens from five to six grants for conducting research at the Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Washington, D.C. Grants are awarded in history, law, economics, political studies (for more, see below) with an emphasis on ethnic, religious, social and cultural issues, human rights and U.S.-Russia relations.

Here you may see the complete list of the Kennan Institute disciplines.

The Kennan Institute, as the oldest program of the Woodrow Wilson Center, bridges the gap between the world of ideas and the world of public affairs by bringing scholars and governmental specialists together to discuss political, social, and economic issues affecting Russia and other successor states to the Soviet Union, seeking always to place these issues within their historical context. The Kennan Institute is a non-partisan institution committed to improving American expertise and knowledge about this region. The Institute organizes seminars, workshops, briefings, and conferences featuring prominent scholars and policymakers from America, Russia, and other successor states to the Soviet Union with experience in shaping U.S.-Russian policy. The visiting scholars at the Kennan Institute, thanks to its location in Washington, D.C. have access to libraries, archives, research facilities, and human resources that are among the finest in the world.
