The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program is now accepting applications for U.S. institutions to host an international scholar in the 2026-27 academic year for a semester or full year to support campus internationalization goals. S-I-Rs work across departments and curricula to enhance an international program, develop new world area studies programs or add an international dimension to coursework. Fulbright provides J-visa sponsorship, travel, and living stipends to scholars who further U.S. institutions’ internationalization efforts through:
- Teaching
- Curriculum development
- Developing exchange partnerships
- Community engagement
