Dear Fulbright Visiting Scholars:
Welcome to the United States and to your Fulbright program. The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) sends you its best wishes for your Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program. We are delighted to provide all incoming and continuing Fulbright Visiting Scholars information about the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Enrichment Program for 2013-14.
The Enrichment Program, implemented by CIES on behalf of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), offers a variety of enrichment activities in different locations throughout the academic year. These activities are designed to enable scholars to better experience America and to further the Fulbright Program’s goal of increasing mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and people of other countries. We hope that you will be able to take advantage of these events, based on your location. For more information on the enrichment programs, please revisit this page.

Fulbright Association:
The Fulbright Association (FA), comprised of alumni and friends of the Fulbright Program, invites visiting scholars to participate in enrichment activities organized by many of its 58 chapters located throughout the country. Like the other enrichment activities, these programs are supported by the U.S. Department of State. Visiting scholars will be contacted by the local FA chapter in their area. For more information, including details regarding the geographic jurisdiction of each chapter, please visit www.fulbright.org. For scholars not located in chapter areas, feel free to contact the Fulbright Association for possible connections with U.S. Fulbright alumni in your area.
Through these opportunities, we invite you to experience the Fulbright world outside the classroom.
Best wishes for an enriching experience in the United States!
