Fulbright

For the second year in a row, Colorado State University was named one of the nation’s top producers of Fulbright U.S. scholars.

U.S. Fulbright Scholars

The Fulbright Scholars programs is administered by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) with funding from the U.S. government and in cooperation with foreign governments. Fulbright provides the opportunity to “increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.” CIES has placed close to 50,000 scholars in over 140 countries for teaching, research and short term projects. Visit the CIES website for a complete listing of Fulbright opportunities available to faculty and professionals.

The Office of International Programs can facilitate application review and answer questions about the Fulbright program. Completed applications will be accepted directly through CIES.

For questions about sabbatical leave please see the Academic Faculty and Administrative Professionals handbook.
