Synopsis

The Fulbright Specialist Program will select approximately 400 American academics and professionals to countries worldwide for two-to-six week programming in FY 2027. Fulbright Specialists share their expertise, build and strengthen professional networks, and gain international experience through projects that support U.S. foreign policy priorities and strengthen institutional ties in education, innovation, and trade.

 

Specialist projects are requested by U.S. embassies and Fulbright Commissions abroad, in coordination with foreign institutions such as universities, teacher-training centers, cultural institutions, and government ministries. Specialists may include attorneys, business leaders, economists, etc., and they develop curricula, design or deliver symposia, conduct needs assessments, and consult on faculty or workforce needs.
