The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program’s 2023-24 competition is open and celebrating 75 years

The 2023-24 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is open and accepting applicants. Faculty, researchers and administrators can now apply for more than 400 awards in more than 130 countries in all world regions to teach, research and carry out professional projects abroad. The application deadline is Sept. 15, and applicants must be U.S. citizens.

Andrew Gillespie, assistant provost for international programs, is the Auburn University faculty Fulbright campus liaison. Faculty applying to the program may contact him for questions or assistance with the application process. Those interested can learn about the award opportunities by visiting the Catalog of Awards, connecting with Fulbright or attending a webinar.

For 75 years, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 400,000 participants–chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential–with the opportunity to exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to challenges facing our communities and our world.

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the program, Auburn University President Jay Gogue will host a dinner honoring past Fulbrighters. Faculty members who participated in a Fulbright program while at another institution can contact Andrew Gillespie at arg0014@auburn.edu to be added to this event and other Fulbright-related activities at Auburn.

As an additional resource, the Office of International Programs has a webpage where faculty can find Auburn Fulbright scholar contacts and details on specific awards and programs.
