The Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP) promotes linkages between U.S. scholars and professionals and their counterparts at host institutions overseas. The focus of the FSP is educational capacity building and the development of longer-term educational relationships. The program awards grants to qualified U.S. faculty and professionals, in select disciplines, to engage in short-term collaborative two- to six-week projects at eligible institutions worldwide. Shorter grant lengths give Specialists greater flexibility to pursue projects that work best with their current academic or professional commitments. International travel costs and a per day grant payment are funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Participating host institutions cover grantee in-country costs.
Eligible Disciplines: Agriculture, American Studies, Anthropology, Archaeology, Biology Education, Business Administration, Chemistry Education, Communications & Journalism, Computer Science & Information Technology, Economics, Education, Engineering Education, Environmental Science, Law, Library Science, Math Education, Peace & Conflict Resolution Studies, Physics Education, Political Science, Public Administration, Public/Global Health, Social Work, Sociology, Urban Planning.

- U.S. citizenship at time of application
