Fulbright Scholar Program Offers Agriculture Opportunities

The Fulbright Scholar Program is offering 16 lecturing, research, and lecturing/research awards in agriculture for the 2005-2006 academic year. Awards for both faculty and professionals range from two months to an academic year.

While many awards specify project and host institution, there are a number of open “All Disciplines” awards that allow candidates to propose their own project and determine their host institution affiliation. Foreign language skills are needed in some countries, but most Fulbright lecturing assignments are in English.

The application deadline for Fulbright traditional lecturing and research grants worldwide is Aug. 1. For information, eligibility requirements and online application, visit  www.cies.org.
