Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program 2009-2010

The Embassy of the United States of America in Bosnia & Herzegovina is pleased to announce the Fulbright Scholar Program competition for research in the United States during the 2009-2010 academic year.
The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program brings scholars to the United States for up to one academic year of professional research with the goal of increasing mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.  The Fulbright experience should be of value not only to the scholar, but also to the scholar’s home university – its students and faculty – as well as to the host U.S. institution. Fulbright scholars serve as cultural ambassadors and should be prepared to speak about their country, culture, and research to academic and community groups.
