Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program (S-I-R)
The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program (S-I-R) offers U.S. institutions the opportunity to expand programs of academic exchange by hosting a Visiting Scholar. S-I-R can help your institution boost its international presence, assist in faculty and curriculum development, and diversify the experience not only of students and scholars on campus but also in the wider community. One of the few Fulbright programs that serves institutions, S-I-R gives preference to minority-serving institutions, community colleges, and small liberal arts institutions.

The deadline to submit institutional proposals for S-I-R is October 15, 2013. If you have any questions please contact Cecilia Kocinski-Mulder at ckocinskimulder@iie.org. More information can also be found at www.cies.org/sir.

Fulbright International Education Administrator (IEA) Seminars
The competition for 2014-15 Fulbright International Education Administrator Seminars is open and currently accepting applications. The seminars are designed for U.S. higher education administrators who are interested in spending an intensive two-week seminar in: India, Japan, Korea, United Kingdom,Germany, or France.

Each seminar offers participants an in-depth look at the higher education system, culture and society of the host country and provides an invigorating opportunity for networking with international and U.S. colleagues. All participants gain a new perspective on the need to internationalize U.S. campuses and insight into how it can be done. They return to their home institutions empowered with an enhanced ability to build partnerships, encourage study abroad participation and support international students.

Each country program will have varying qualification information and strategic goals, so applicants should read the award description carefully. All programs have intensive, pre-arranged itineraries, but in most cases, return travel can be arranged to allow for personal meetings or travel in-country.

All awards includes economy round-trip travel, travel within the country, lodging and a lump sum supplement for incidentals.

If you have any questions please contact Alexandra Squitieri at asquitieri@iie.org. The application deadlines and more information about each program can be found at www.cies.org/IEA.
