The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (SIR)
Program brings scholars and professionals from other countries to
lecture at U.S. colleges and universities that do not often host
visiting scholars. Under this program, interested US institutions submit
proposals to invite scholars for one or both terms of the academic year
to teach courses in area studies, in inter-disciplinary programs that
focus on global issues, or in courses where participation of the foreign
scholar can provide a cross-cultural or international perspective. The
SIR program is especially appropriate for small liberal arts colleges,
minority-serving institutions and community colleges in the U.S.
How to
Apply
This is a program for which U.S. institutions of higher education
apply. They can either name a scholar or request recruitment of one
through the Fulbright agencies worldwide. Therefore, Indian scholars
should draw the SIR program to the attention of their U.S. counterparts.
