Overview
The Fulbright Distinguished Chairs Program comprises approximately forty distinguished lecturing, distinguished research and distinguished lecturing/research awards ranging from three to 12 months. Awards in the Fulbright Distinguished Chairs Program are viewed as among the most prestigious appointments in the Fulbright Scholar Program. Candidates should be eminent scholars and have a significant publication and teaching record.
Who is Eligible?
The full text of the current J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board Policies For Fulbright U.S. Scholars may be found in Chapter 600: U.S. Lecturers and Research Scholars.
Applicants must meet all of the following eligibility requirements unless otherwise stated in individual country or award descriptions:
•U.S. citizenship at the time of application. Permanent resident status is not sufficient.
•A Ph.D. or equivalent professional terminal degree at the time of application. For professionals and artists outside academe, recognized professional standing and substantial professional accomplishments.
•College or university teaching experience at the level and in the field of the proposed lecturing activity as specified in the award description. For Distinguished Chairs awards, candidates should be senior scholars with a significant publication and teaching record.
•Foreign language proficiency only if specified in the award description or required for the completion of the proposed project. (Note: Except in certain world areas and countries, English is usually sufficient for lecturing.)
•Previous Fulbright scholar grantees are eligible to apply only if five years will have elapsed between the ending date of one scholar award and the beginning date of the new scholar award. This rule does not apply if the previous grant was for less than two months.
•Because an objective of the Fulbright Program is to provide an educational exchange experience for those not previously afforded such an opportunity, preference will usually be given to candidates who have not had substantial recent experience in the country to which they are applying. Duty abroad in the Armed Forces of the U.S. is not considered disqualifying.
•Sound physical and mental health. Those selected for a Fulbright grant are required to submit a Medical History and Examination Report before their grants can be finalized.
•Disclosure of prior conviction or current indictment for commission of a felony. Prior conviction or current indictment may result in disqualification.
•Applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin and/or physical impairment.
•Employees, spouses or dependent children of the United States Department of State or public and private organizations under contract to the United States Department of State are ineligible to apply for a Fulbright grant until one year after the employee's termination.
•Notes on Eligibility
Applicants must disclose any prior convictions for commission of a felony or a misdemeanor (excluding minor traffic violations). Applicants must also disclose if, at the time of application, or at any subsequent time during the selection process, they have been arrested for, indicted for, or charged with a felony or a misdemeanor (excluding minor traffic violations), and the criminal matter has not been resolved.
