Fulbright Ecuador : Scholar-in-Residence Program

Scholar-in-Residence Program

The worldwide Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program brings visiting scholars and professionals from abroad to lecture at U.S. colleges and universities for one semester or one academic year, to small liberal arts colleges, minority-serving institutions, and community colleges, many of which do not often have the opportunity to host visiting scholars.

Fulbright Scholars-in-Residence can have a significant impact on U.S. colleges and universities. In addition to teaching courses, scholars give campus-wide and community lectures, help initiate international programs and contribute to curriculum development. Although preference is given to proposals in the humanities or social sciences, other fields focusing on international issues will be considered.

When institutions request Scholars from Ecuador in particular fields, the Fulbright Commission initiates the search, interviews, and recommends appropriate candidates. Final selection and approval of recommended candidates is made by the J. William Fulbright Scholarship Board.
