Scholar-in-Residence Program

The Worldwide Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program brings scholars and professionals from abroad to lecture at U.S. colleges and universities for one semester or one academic year.

How to Apply

Applying to Become a Scholar-in-Residence

Unlike the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program, there is no formal process for applying to participate in the SIR Program. If you are interested in becoming a Scholar-in-Residence, you can submit your curriculum vitae along with a Statement of Interest, to the Fulbright Commissions or U.S. Embassy abroad in your home country.

You can also express your interest by contacting administrators and faculty at Historically Black Colleges, Hispanic-serving institutions, community colleges and small, liberal-arts colleges. Contacting Fulbright Visiting Scholars can also help bring perspective on the lecturing environments and needs of institutions targeted for SIR participation. SIR program staff can also offer information.
