The Fulbright US Scholars Core Program in all disciplines allows grantees to conduct research in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural and Applied Sciences. Grantees collaborate with colleagues from French research centers and institutes of higher education. We encourage grantees to participate in local conferences and workshops, to conduct seminars, and to share their research with colleagues at the host institution.
We expect applicants to arrange an affiliation and to solicit an invitation from a prospective host institution.
Applications for the 2025-26 grants are due by September 16, 2024.
The US Scholars Program is administered by the Institute of International Education. For further information and to apply, please consult IIE's program page.
The grantee will receive between €2600 and €3000 (approx. $2,800-$3,200) per month depending on the city of placement and an additional travel allowance of €1200 (approx. $1,300) provided for the grantee only.
French language ability should be commensurate with the requirements of the project.
Many host institutions offer language courses.
We prefer candidates who intend to improve their French language skills.
