Program Overview:
Awards in the Fulbright Distinguished Chairs Program are viewed as among the most prestigious appointments in the Fulbright Scholar Program. Candidates should have a prominent record of scholarly accomplishment. The former two-tiered application process for the Distinguished Chairs Program has been consolidated into a single application process. The new application deadline will be August 1, 2008.
Applicants should submit a single complete application online that includes: the online application form with all required items completed; a project statement (up to five pages); a tailored curriculum vitae or resume, including publications list (up to eight pages); for research awards: a select bibliography (up to three pages) and three reference letters; for lecturing or lecturing/research awards: course syllabi (up to 10 pages), two reference letters and one teaching report; a letter of invitation or other relevant correspondence from abroad, in the few cases where applicable. Selected scholars will be notified following a review during the fall.
