Fulbright Faculty Development Program

We are pleased to announce the expansion of the Fulbright Program in Ukraine to include in addition to scholars and senior lecturers also teaching faculty and scholars under the age of 35, who do not yet have a terminal academic degree ("kandidat" or doctorate) and who are either teaching at institutions of higher learning or are affiliated with academic or cultural institutions, including libraries and museums.

The Fulbright Faculty Development grants are available in all fields described in the Fulbright Scholar Program. Teaching faculty and scholars under the age of 35, who do not yet have a terminal academic degree ("kandidat" or doctorate), who are either teaching at institutions of higher learning or are affiliated with academic or cultural institutions, including libraries and museums may apply, provided they meet all other general requirements of the Fulbright Program.

Terms of the Fulbright Faculty Development Program:

• Support for the individual scholar but not for the families
• Limited to 9 months, with extensions either not offered or extremely rare
• Course work for credit is not envisaged, although auditing of courses is encouraged
• Projects that will result in new courses are particularly encouraged
• Preference will be given to teaching faculty with at least two years experience
• Participation is limited to candidates under 35
