Fulbright U.S. Scholars are faculty, researchers, administrators, and established professionals teaching or conducting research in affiliation with universities and institutes abroad. During their time abroad, Fulbright Scholars engage in cutting-edge research and discovery while expanding their professional networks around the globe. The relationships forged by 鈥淔ulbrighters鈥� lay the groundwork for future partnerships between home and host institutions. Upon returning to their home institutions, labs, and classrooms, Fulbright Scholars continue research collaborations and share their experiences and learning with their students in the classroom.
