Fulbright Scholarships for professionals

The Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Research Program (Fulbright DA) provides an opportunity for K–12 educators from the United States to conduct research and engage in other professional learning experiences abroad for three to six months. Fulbright Distinguished fellows complete individual inquiry projects on a topic relevant to education in the United States and the host country, take courses at a host university, and share educational practices with colleagues.

Full details and the link to the application can be found on the Distinguished Awards in Teaching page.

The Fulbright Specialist Programme invites UK universities to host a leading US academic or professional to work on diverse, short-term collaborative projects.

The programme allows universities, cultural centres, non-governmental organisations, and other institutions abroad to host a leading U.S. academic or professional to work on projects such as: 

• Delivering a seminar or workshop
• Consulting on faculty or workforce development
• Developing academic or training curricula and materials
• Lecturing at graduate or undergraduate level
• Conducting needs assessments or evaluations for a program or institution

 Participating foreign host institutions benefit by:

• Gaining global perspectives from experienced U.S. academics and professionals;
• Executing projects that require a rapid response or flexible timeline through short-term exchanges, and
• Building sustained relationships with individuals and institutions in the U.S.
• Increasing the profile of the Fulbright programme more generally within their institution and opening up opportunities for their students and staff.

Please note, this Programme has its own timeline and application process, please visit the Fulbright Specialist Programme Award page to find out more.
