The Fulbright Specialist Program

The Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP), part of the larger Fulbright Program, was established in 2001 by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). The program is a field-driven initiative in which foreign 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. Participating foreign host institutions benefit by:

• Gaining global perspectives from experienced U.S. academics and professionals;

• Executing projects that require a rapid response or flexible timeline through short-term, year-round exchanges; and

• Building sustained relationships with individuals and institutions in the U.S.

The Fulbright Specialist Program for 2023-2024 academic year has concluded. Please visit this site again during spring of 2024 to find out about the 2024-2025 program cycle.

Kosovo institutions interested in hosting a Fulbright Specialist in calendar year 2023 will need to apply directly to World Learning via the online project portal: https://worldlearning-community.force.com/FSPHost/

This program is jointly funded by the U.S. Department of State and the Government of Kosovo.
