The Council for International Exchange of Scholars administers the Fulbright Scholar Program on behalf of the United States Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Opportunities in the 2016-17 Fulbright Scholar Program include:

Russia Award #6314: All Disciplines
Teach and/or conduct research in any appropriate discipline. Applicants submitting proposals with a teaching component should seek affiliation or indicate flexibility for affiliation outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Please visit the 2016-17 Catalog of Awards to learn more about all the opportunities available in this year’s competition. For most awards, English is sufficient for teaching and foreign language proficiency is only needed to the extent required by the proposed research project.

The Application Guidelines provide helpful tips to reference during the process, and the Council is happy to answer any questions. It also encourages interested scholars to explore and register for one or more of our webinars, which provide more detailed insight into various parts of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar program. A complete schedule of upcoming and archived presentations can be found here.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens and the current competition will close on August 3, 2015.
