This interactive workshop is designed to help HSI faculty and staff learn how to make the
most of the resources and training that Fulbright provides, whether you are already
involved with Fulbright or are looking to get started.
Join us as our panel of campus experts -- faculty and administrators from this year’s
Fulbright HSI Institutional
Leaders<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2...
– share best practices and tips on how to do more with Fulbright, including advising
students, assisting faculty, and hosting Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistants,
Fulbright Scholars-in-Residence, Fulbright Foreign Students, Fulbright Visiting Scholars,
and Fulbright Outreach Lecturing Fund visiting lecturers. They will also share suggestions
on how to create or advocate for policies that are Fulbright-friendly and foster a
Fulbright culture on your campus.
Prior to the workshop, all registrants will receive a video on “Fulbright Fundamentals”
with an overview of the Fulbright Student and Scholar Programs to review at your
convenience, so the workshop can focus on the discussion and Q&A with Fulbright

About Fulbright and Additional Information & Opportunities
The Fulbright Program, the United States government’s flagship international educational
and cultural exchange program, awards approximately 8,000 merit-based grants every year to
accomplished students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals of all backgrounds
and fields. The Fulbright Program offers the opportunity to study, teach and conduct
research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to complex global challenges
in more than 160 countries worldwide. If you are interested in applying for a Fulbright,
but are not sure where to start, this is for you. While there are many Fulbright Program
opportunities, with some only available in certain countries, these resources below
provide an overview of the most common programs.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR U.S. HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https...
The Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant
Program<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2...
(FLTA) places early career educators as Foreign Language Teaching Assistants at U.S.
colleges and universities — improving U.S. students’ foreign language abilities and
knowledge of other countries. U.S. schools can apply to host FLTAs in over 30 languages.
U.S. campuses enhance the teaching of languages and expose students to a true
understanding of people of different nations.
The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R)
Program<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2...
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.
The Outreach Lecturing Fund
(
OLF)<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2...
provides funding for campuses, especially Minority Serving Institutions, Community
Colleges, Small Liberal Arts Colleges, Women’s Colleges and Art Colleges, and
geographically underrepresented institutions, to host Fulbright Visiting Scholars already
in the United States for short-term speaking engagements. The OLF award is designed to
enrich both institutions and Visiting Scholars through lectures that promote academic
disciplines and cultural understanding.
