Fulbright Hildeman Fellowship

The Fulbright Hildeman Fellowship is a visiting scholar fellowship that promotes Scandinavian languages, literature and area studies in the United States. Each year a U.S. university with a strong Scandinavian studies program is selected as the host institution; University of Wisconsin–Madison is the host for the 2027–2028 academic year. The fellowship funds one academic semester in the U.S. and aims to strengthen academic collaboration between Sweden and the United States and encourage teaching and research in Scandinavian studies.

SEK 150,000 cash grant; SEK 15,000 round-trip travel allowance; accident and sickness insurance; coverage of SEVIS and J-1 visa fees; Fulbright branding and additional host university benefits.
