The Fulbright Scholar Program sends 800 scholars and professionals each year to more than 140 countries, where they lecture or conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. In recent years, dozens of MU faculty have received this prestigious award.

Fulbright awards are available from two months to an academic year. While foreign language skills are needed in some countries, most Fulbright lecturing assignments are in English. See the awards catalog for specific information about available opportunities, including eligibility criteria and timelines.

Application deadline for 2021/22: Sept. 15, 2020
