Fulbright Specialist Program (Fulbright Specialist Awards)

The Fulbright Specialist Program places experienced U.S. academics and professionals at host institutions abroad for short-term collaborative projects of 2–6 weeks focused on education or training. Projects are designed by host institutions and may include activities such as workshops, curriculum development, needs assessments, or lecturing. The program is a field-driven initiative administered by World Learning in partnership with the U.S. Department of State and national Fulbright Commissions; projects must be completed in a single visit and focus on eligible disciplines.

Roundtrip economy airfare, limited health benefits enrollment, daily honorarium; host-provided lodging, meals and in-country transportation.

Host institutions in Ireland may propose projects; specialists must be U.S. citizens with significant professional or academic experience and may be identified from the Fulbright Specialist Roster or named by the host. Projects must focus on eligible disciplines and be 14–42 days in length.

Irish host institutions submit a project proposal (Host Institution Application); if approved, World Learning may identify matching specialists from the Fulbright Specialist Roster or hosts may name a candidate. See Host Institution Application Instructions and World Learning Specialist site for details.
