Each year the Fulbright Commission awards scholarships to US citizens for post-graduate study, research and teaching in Ireland. Since 1957 more than 600 US Fulbrighters have visited Ireland and contributed to an exchange of ideas and experiences that have enhanced mutual understanding between Ireland and the United States and have developed knowledge, skills and networks in higher education, public policy and the arts.
The following benefits are associated with hosting a US Fulbrighter:
- Quality – The Fulbright Program is one of the most prestigious international education programs with very high visibility. It attracts and selects students, academics and professionals with excellent academic credentials, leadership potential, rigorous research and teaching proposals and recognition that receiving a Fulbright award is a life-time commitment. The Fulbright Commission is committed to offering a quality service to its participants and partners in its awards and activities
- Contacts — Irish institutions can access a “deep reservoir of expertise” and create an international network of leading and emerging scholars and professionals
- Cost – Fulbright grants to in-coming US scholars / professionals and students are a cost effective way to facilitate international recognition, collaboration, and understanding. For US applicants, Fulbright manages the advertising and recruitment of candidates, work permit and visa processing, grant payments, health insurance and orientation program for grantees.
