Fulbright Scholar Program: Opportunities for International Education Administrators
The Fulbright Scholar Program is inviting applications to programs for International Education Administrators (IEA) offered by the Fulbright commissions in Germany, Japan or Korea.

In addition to presentations by specialists, the programs include meetings with government and university officials and site visits to campuses.

Successful applicants have strong records of professional accomplishments (leadership in professional organizations, presentations at meetings, development of innovative programs, publications and so forth) and present a compelling statement of how they will use the experience and disseminate what they will learn. Applicants must have U.S. citizenship and affiliation with a college, university, or a non-profit organization, with experience in international education. Applicants for Germany must have at least three years of experience. Applicants for Japan and Korea must have at least five years of experience, and should be based in institutions that have sizeable populations of students from those countries as well as some other linkages in place. Further program information, application materials, and special application instructions are available at www.cies.org.
