Emory is proud of the many faculty members who have participated in Fulbright programs over the years and highly encourages others who are interested to apply. The University has a great track record; every faculty member who has applied for a grant in the last five years has been awarded one. Each spring Emory co-hosts a Fulbright Faculty Workshop with other area institutions. Notice of the 2007 workshop will be posted here when available.

Please take a moment to browse through the directory of Emory Fulbrighters. They can serve as excellent sources of information and advice on applying for grants. The second directory includes information on Visiting Fulbright Scholars from around the world that Emory has hosted. They may represent good contacts for scholars or departments interested in developing projects in those nations.


Fulbright News

Congratulations to Julia Kjelgaard, Emory Visual Arts Program senior lecturer, who has been selected as a Fulbright Research Scholar. Starting January 2007, Kjelgaard will spend six months in residence at the Chitrakala Parishat Fine Arts College in Bangalore, India. While there, she plans to finish a book from the recent "Transformative Experience" series and pursue a project documenting small storefronts.


Fulbright Opportunities for Emory Scholars and Administrators

The best known Fulbright opportunity is the Traditional Fulbright Scholar program, which each year sends 800 U.S. faculty and professionals to 140 countries for two months to an academic year. But there are many other programs you may not be aware of, including:

	The Distinguished Chairs, among the most prestigious appointments in the Fulbright Program for scholars who are in the top of their professional fields
	International Education Administrators Seminars to Germany, Japan, and Korea
	The German Studies Seminar, for specialists and non-specialists alike
	The Senior Specialists Program, which offers shorter grants of 2-6 weeks for collaborations in other countries in a variety of activities
	The New Century Scholars, which each year brings together 30 experts from the U.S. and abroad to address a topic of global significance (this year’s theme is "Higher Education in the 21st Century: Global Challenge and National Response")
	The Alumni Initiatives Awards, which give former Fulbrighters the opportunity to sustain relationships initiated between their home and host institutions

Application deadlines for these programs vary. Complete information and application forms are available at the Fulbright Scholar Program website.

Opportunities to Bring Fulbright Scholars to Emory

The Occasional Lecturer Program provides opportunities for universities to invite Fulbright Visiting Scholars from around the world who are currently in the U.S. to their campuses for guest lectures. Fulbright provides travel awards for these visits, which allows scholars to share their research interests, speak on the history or culture of their countries, and create linkages between their home and U.S. institutions. Departments can identify scholars to invite to their campuses by consulting the Directory of Fulbright Visiting Scholars, which lists all visiting scholars in the United States for the current academic year.
