The Council for International Exchange of Scholars, on behalf of the U.S. State Department, administers the “Core Fulbright Scholar Program,” which annually makes available fellowships in about 125 countries to over 500 U.S. scholars and professionals from a wide variety of academic and professional fields. These prestigious grants are a major source of funding for lecturing or conducting research abroad.

Although the U-M International Institute does not administer any aspect of this competition or these awards, we have been trained by CIES and are able to provide comprehensive information, instructions, editorial assistance, review criteria tailored to each application, and professional advice on how best to structure an application for this particular competition. Information sessions are offered monthly and no registration is required.
