Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program

Online Application

 

Prospective Fulbright participants should be aware that public health conditions, availability of consular services and travel, as well as U.S. institutional operating status and policies may affect their ability to travel to the U.S. and participate in academic programs.

The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program offers research opportunities at U.S. universities and research institutions for scholars, researchers and other professionals. It targets scholars and teaching faculty, who are either teaching at higher education institutions or are affiliated with academic, research, or cultural institutions, including libraries, archives and museums, or with NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations).

Scholar/Professional Status: Academic candidates must have a post-graduate academic degree (Kandydat Nauk, Ph.D., Ph.D. in Arts, Doctor Nauk). Professionals and artists outside academia may be exempt from the requirements to have a third level qualification if they have 10 or more years of professional qualifications and/or experience, recognized professional standing, and substantial accomplishments. Experience gained as an undergraduate or graduate student does not count toward years of experience for the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program.
