The Fulbright Scholar Program is offering lecture and research awards in some 140 countries for the 2005-2006 academic year. The competition opened March 1, 2004.

Opportunities are available not only for college and university faculty and administrators, but also for professionals from business and government, artists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, independent scholars, and many others. There are awards in 45 different disciplines and professional fields.

Traditional Fulbright awards are available from two months to an academic year or longer. A short-term grants program -- the Fulbright Senior Specialists Program -- offers two- to six-week grants in a variety of disciplines and fields.

While foreign language skills are needed in some countries, most Fulbright lecturing assignments are in English. Application deadlines for 2005-2006 awards are:

May 1, 2004, for Fulbright Distinguished Chair awards in Europe, Canada, Israel, and Russia

August 1, 2004, for Fulbright traditional lecturing and research grants worldwide

November 1, 2004, for the summer German Studies Seminar and for spring/summer seminars in Germany, Korea, and Japan for academic and international education administrators
