Fulbright Specialist Program for Nepali Institutions
APPLICATION FOR NEPALI INSTITUTIONS
Deadline: August 31, 2021
The Nepal Fulbright Commission announces applications open for the 2021-2022 Fulbright Specialist Program to support Nepali institutions through grants to bring U.S. Specialists in selected disciplines to Nepal for two to six weeks anytime between April 2022 and September 30, 2022. Depending on the availability of funding, the Commission will provide up to 5 grants to Nepali institutions.
The FSP program encourages host institutions to tailor projects to their own needs. However, all projects should have an education or training focus.Due to the short-term nature of the exchange, projects should have concrete objectives that can be achieved over the course of the Specialist’s visit. The ideal project, however, will foster long-term collaboration. Past Specialists have supported host institutions by conducting activities such as:
- trainings and professional development
- short-term lecturing
- seminars
- teacher training
- special conferences or workshops
- collaborating on curriculum planning, institutional and/or faculty development
Note: Personal or clinical research is not funded by the Fulbright Specialist program.
Program Parameters
- All exchanges must range from 14 to 42 days in length, including weekends, holidays and travel days.
- Approved projects should be completed between April 2022 and September 30, 2022. The project start date is the date the specialist departs the U.S.
