International Education Administrator (IEA) Awards: Expand International Connections for Your Campus

Fulbright International Education Administrators (IEA) awards are two-week seminars designed to help U.S. international education professionals and senior higher education officials create empowering connections with their counterparts and higher education systems of other countries. Selected applicants have the opportunity to learn about the host country’s education system as well as establish networks of U.S. and international colleagues over the course of an intensive two-week grant duration. Awardees return with enhanced ability to serve and encourage international students and prospective study-abroad students.

Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program (S-I-R) continues to seek institutions to host Fulbright Visiting Scholars.
Express your interest in our survey!

S-I-R is a unique Fulbright Scholar Program initiative that is specifically driven by the goals of U.S. institutions of higher education to enhance internationalization efforts on their campuses. Through the S-I-R Program, institutions host a scholar from outside of the United States for a semester or full academic year to teach courses, assist in curriculum development, guest lecture, develop study abroad/exchange partnerships and engage with the campus and the local community.

Are you a representative of a U.S. University or College interested to learn more about S-I-R? Please complete this brief survey to stay informed!
