The Fulbright Specialist Program offers opportunities for established U.S. professionals and academics to share expertise, gain international experience, and develop collaborative partnerships through short-term, project-based exchanges at institutions around the globe.
The program is a field-driven initiative in which Nepali host institutions conceptualize and design projects of interest within an eligible discipline that represent a priority for their respective organizations. These projects are then matched with a highly qualified U.S. academic or professional, who shares their expertise and assists with strengthening linkages between U.S. and foreign host institutions.
