Dear Colleague: In late March we alerted you to the opening of the 1998-99 Fulbrigh Scholar Program competition for U.S. college and university faculty and professionals in TEFL and linguistics. I am writing to remind you that the AUGUST 1 DEADLINE is approaching and to urge you to consider applying for a Fulbright. More than 700 awards are being offered in over 120 countries for university lecturing, advanced research, and other professional activities. Opportunities exist in every area of the social sciences, arts and humanities, sciences, and many professional fields. Basic Eligibility Requirements: Ph.D. or equivalent professional/terminal degree at the time of application and U.S. citizenship (permanent residency is no sufficient). For professionals and artists outside academe, recognized professional standing comparable to that associated with the doctorate in higher education is required, unless otherwise noted in the awards book. College or university teaching experience is required at the level and in the field of the proposed lecturing activity for lecturing and combined lecturing/research awards. Grant Duration: Awards range in duration from two months to twelve months. Mos lecturing assignments are for an academic term/semester or a full academic year.
