2022-2023 Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program
The U.S. Education Foundation in Nepal (USEF-Nepal or the Fulbright Commission) announces application open for 2022-2023 Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program.

The program provides grants to approximately 850 foreign scholars from over 100 countries to conduct post-doctoral research at U.S. institutions from an academic semester to a full academic year. The award is provided to conduct post-doctoral research at a U.S. University or for Nepali artists to undertake an artistic project at a U.S. University, museum, or other cultural institution during Academic Year 2022-23 for a period of six to nine months.

The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Nepali Post-Doctoral Researchers and Senior Artists
The Fulbright Visiting Scholars Program has provided thousands of scholars with the opportunity to develop collaborative research and/or artistic relationships with US scholars or artists; and to enhance scholarly publications and other contributions with research and/or artistic practice conducted in the US and to establish professional contacts in their field and make long-lasting friendships with colleagues in the US.

For post-doctoral researchers, through doing research, guest lecturing, and pursuing other scholarly interests in a completely different environment, scholars return home personally invigorated and professionally stimulated. For senior artists, the grant is an opportunity to expand professional and artistic networks, or to gain skills and expertise in a particular aspect of artistic practice and to share with American colleagues and communities the rich and diverse cultural and artistic heritage and contemporary practice of art in Nepal.

Women, minorities, people with disabilities, or otherwise disadvantaged candidates and individuals with limited prior international exposure are encouraged to apply.

> J-1 visa sponsorship
