Submission of applications
Two separate program steps must successfully occur prior to the administration of an actual Fulbright Specialist grant:
 

1. The application and merit peer review process for U.S. Roster Candidacy Admission:

U.S. faculty and professionals apply to join a Roster of Specialists for a five-year term. Roster candidates are reviewed by peers in their discipline and by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FFSB).

U.S. Citizens - Find out more about applying to the Fulbright Specialist Roster.



2. The Specialist Project Request Submission and Approval Process:

Eligible non-U.S. institutions wanting to host a Fulbright Specialist submit Specialist Project Request forms through the Fulbright commissions or U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Sections in their home countries.  Projects must be reviewed and approved by the Fulbright office in their home country and the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Non-U.S. Institutions - Find out more about hosting a Fulbright Specialist.

CIES completes matchmaking of a Roster candidate with an approved project and administers Specialist grants on behalf of the U.S. Department of State.

  • The goals of the Fulbright Specialist Program are:
    • to increase the participation of leading U.S. scholars and professionals in Fulbright academic exchanges,
    • to encourage new activities that go beyond the core Fulbright activities of lecturing and research,
    • to promote increased connections between U.S. and non-U.S. institutions;
  • Eligible disciplines and specialisations: Specialist projects fall within select eligible disciplines, with each discipline including designated specialisations. CIES uses the primary disciplines and specialisations to assign applicants during the peer review process and in matching Roster candidates with projects.
