The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program assists U.S. higher education institutions in expanding programs of academic exchange. By supporting non-U.S. scholars through grants for teaching at institutions that might not have a strong international component, both the U.S. institution and the scholar grantee benefit.
Opportunity
S-I-R gives preference to the following.
- Historically Black Colleges and Universities
- Hispanic-serving institutions
- Tribal Colleges and Universities
- Community Colleges
- Small Liberal Arts institutions
- Asian-American and Native American/Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI)
- American Indian and Alaskan Native (AIANSI)
- Predominantly Black Institutions (PBI)
There are opportunities for other institutions to partner with preference organizations. Your institution is invited to learn how S-I-R can help advance its international presence, assist in faculty and curriculum development, and diversify the educational experiences of its students, scholars and surrounding community.
Eligibility
The focus of the S-I-R is to engage with institutions that are underrepresented within the Fulbright Program. If your institution is outside the scope of these targeted institutions, S-I-R awards may still be granted.
- Minority Serving Institutions (Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions AANAPISI, American Indian and Alaskan Native Serving Institutions AIANSI, Historically Black Colleges and Universities HBCU, Hispanic Serving Institutions HSI, Tribal Colleges and Universities TCU, and Predominately Black Institutions PBI.
