Award-Fulbright US Scholar Opportunities in 2013-14; August 1, 2012
Did you
know that India is the largest Fulbright US and Visiting Scholar program,
worldwide? For US scholars and professionals, there are more than 80 grants available.
Awards are open to all disciplines, in research and/or teaching (http://www.cies.org/Fulbright/india/).
Beyond India, awards are available across South and Central Asia, from
Kazakhstan to Sri Lanka. The South and Central Asia Regional Research award is
great for comparative work, as scholars can undertake research in 2 or more
countries in the region.
How does
one get started? The 2013-14 Catalog of Awards is
online at http://catalog.cies.org/. We
have updated the Catalog – not only the country and award descriptions, but the
search functionality as well. We have also restructured the information online
about the program in general, tips for applying, project statement guidelines,
and much more on the US Scholar page of our website to make it easier for
applicants to navigate (http://www.cies.org/us_scholars/us_awards/).
In
addition, your colleagues may find these resources to be helpful:
- Our
webinar schedule is online at http://www.cies.org/Webinar/:
Topics range from country/region to application-specific topics (e.g., Applying
for Fulbright). Be sure to check out the archived webinars, as
well. We published a webinar specifically about the India
Fulbright-Nehru Program just this week.

Please
share this message with your colleagues. If you know of an American
scholar who might be interested, please feel free to respond to this message
with his or her name and we’ll be glad to follow up. We are happy to
answer any questions you or they may have. The deadline for receipt of
applications is August 1, 2012.
