Fulbright Scholar Program

Seeking U.S. Host Campuses for Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program
for Lebanese Rural and Economic Development Scholars

Through the support of the U.S. Department of State's Educational
and Cultural Affairs Bureau, the Council for International Exchange
of Scholars (CIES) is pleased to announce the opening of the
application process to host a cohort of junior Rural and Economic
Development scholars from the Fulbright Junior Faculty Development
Program for Lebanon.

The ten-week summer program for 2015 is designed to bring junior
scholars to U.S. host institutions for faculty development,
mentoring, and cultural exchange activities.  Approximately four
scholars will be placed in the cohort at each of the selected U.S.
host institutions.  Participating institutions will enjoy a unique
opportunity to establish lasting relationships with faculty members
at universities in the scholars' home countries and to build upon
current efforts to internationalize their campuses and surrounding
communities.  CIES will host a webinar to discuss the program and
the application process.  This webinar will be archived and can be
accessed after the initial broadcasts.  To register for one of the
available sessions please click on the date of choice:  Thursday,
