Greetings from the Council for International Exchange of Scholars. We
want to make you aware of a new Fulbright Scholar Program. The 2011
Middle East and North Africa Regional Short-Term Fulbright Visiting
Scholar Program in Science and Technology offers an opportunity for
U.S. higher education institutions to develop or enhance ties with
institutions in North Africa and the Middle East. A total
of twenty-five scholars will be hosted by 5 selected U.S.
institutions from September 21 to December 8, 2011. There will be 5
discipline-based cohorts composed of 5 scholars in one of the following areas:
Science & Technology
Engineering
Environmental/earth sciences
Agricultural/Food Security
Information technology
Host institutions will receive $5,000 per scholar for
administration of the program. They will be also reimbursed up to
$4,500 per scholar for housing and up to $1,000 per scholar to cover
any institutional fees (e.g., access to libraries, use of computer
system, or lab fees).
