Fulbright American Scholar Awards to Canada Now Open

Fulbright Canada is in the midst of celebrating our 25th anniversary, and we are proud of the large number of partnerships we have made in this time. We now have more than 40 Fulbright Visiting Research Chair opportunities in Canada for American scholars in diverse fields. We are reaching out to you with the hope that you can pass along these opportunities and help identify potential applicants.

The 2017-2018 Fulbright competition for American Scholars opened on Monday, Feb. 1 and closes on Monday, Aug. 1, 2016. Fulbright scholars gain international experience, meet and collaborate with Canadian colleagues, and participate in a prestigious scholarship program with a wide network. Many scholars report their experience as life changing.

This year, we are proud to announce a new research chair award in First Nations studies at Vancouver Island University, focusing on aboriginal education, engagement, and reconciliation.
