Looking to globalize your campus?
The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program is accepting applications for U.S. institutions to host an international scholar for a semester or the full 2026-27 academic year. S-I-Rs provide students—some of whom may not be able to go abroad—exposure to international perspectives and experiences that expand their global awareness. S-I-Rs share their expertise in classrooms, campus events, and with local community groups.
Fulbright provides J-visa sponsorship, travel, and living stipends. S-I-Rs can provide support for the following internationalization efforts:
- Teaching
- Curriculum development
- Developing exchange partnerships
- Community engagement
Sign up to attend a live webinar to learn more about the program. All webinars will occur at 2:00pm Eastern Time.
