Fulbright New Century Scholars Program
Thirty top academics and professionals collaborate for a year on
a topic of global significance. For the current year, the research
theme is "Toward Equality: The Global Empowerment of Women."
Program Overview
In March 2001, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of
the U.S. Department of State and the Council for International Exchange
of Scholars, announced the launching of the Fulbright New Century
Scholars Program (NCS), one of three new initiatives designed to
build on the strengths of the Fulbright Scholar Program by extending
its mission and outreach.
The New Century Scholars Program (NCS) will play a vital role in
forging new links among scholars and professionals from around the
world who will work together to seek solutions to issues and concerns
that affect all humankind.
Each year 25-30 outstanding research scholars and professionals
from the U.S. and abroad will be selected as NCS Fellows through
an open competition. Under the leadership of an appointed Distinguished
Scholar Leader, NCS Fellows engage in multidisciplinary collaboration
of the highest quality on a topic of global significance and universal
concern.

Fulbright Alumni Initiatives Awards
Program
The objective of the AIA program is to help translate the individual
Fulbright experience into long-term institutional impact.
To this end, the program provides small institutional grants to
Fulbright alumni to develop innovative projects that will foster
institutionally supported linkages and sustainable, mutually beneficial
relationships between the Fulbright scholar's home and host institutions.
Overview
The Department of State in partnership with the Institute of International
Education (IIE) and its affiliate, the Council for International
Exchange of Scholars (CIES), has established the Alumni Initiatives
Awards (AIA) as an institutional grant program. Now in its fourth
year, the AIA program is intended to help translate the individual
Fulbright experience into a long-term institutional impact.
The AIA application process is a joint one involving both the eligible
Fulbright Scholar Alum and his/her host institution partner.
The Department of State, IIE, and CIES are partners in the management
of the core Fulbright Scholar Program for Faculty and Professionals
.
Please submit signed original AIA application and five copies to:

Fulbright International Education
Administrators Program
U.S international education administrators are invited to apply
for two- to three-week summer seminars in Germany,
Japan
or Korea.
The seminars are designed to introduce participants to the society,
culture and higher education systems of these countries through
campus visits, meetings with foreign colleagues and government officials,
attendance at cultural events and briefings on education.
Participants in the International Education Administrators Program
gain a firsthand look into the host country's academic infrastructure
and culture. They gain new perspective on the need to internationalize
U.S. campuses and insight into how it can be done. For more information
