Fulbright International Education Administrators Program (IEA)
The International Education Administrators (IEA) seminars help U.S. international education professionals and senior higher education officials create empowering connections with the societal, cultural and higher education systems of other countries. Grantees have the opportunity to learn about the host country’s education system as well as establish networks of U.S. and international colleagues. Grantees return with enhanced ability to serve and encourage international students and prospective study-abroad students.
Visit the Fulbright International Education Administrators Program page for further information.
Programs for Visiting (Non-U.S.) Scholars

Core Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program
Each year more than 800 faculty and professionals from over 150 countries receive Fulbright grants through the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) to conduct research, lecture, or pursue combined lecturing and research in the U.S.
Under the Core Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program, scholars apply for Fulbright awards in their home country. For further information on countries that participate in the program and corresponding deadlines, contact the appropriate Fulbright Commission or the public affairs section of the U.S. Embassy. Questions can also be directed to visiting scholar program staff at CIES.
Outreach Lecturing Fund
The Outreach Lecturing Fund allows U.S. institutions to invite Fulbright Visiting Scholars to:
- give department or campus-wide lectures to students or faculty (or both);
- hold lectures in classrooms where the scholar can make a contribution to the discipline;
- meet with faculty to allow for an exchange of ideas;
- have informal gatherings with students and faculty; or
- meet with community organizations or religious groups that have a special interest in international relations.
Visit the Outreach Lecturing Fund page for further information about the program.
Fulbright Visiting Scholar Enrichment Programs
The Enrichment Program, implemented by CIES on behalf of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), offers a variety of enrichment activities in different locations throughout the academic year. These activities are designed to enable scholars to better experience America and to further the Fulbright Program’s goal of increasing mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and people of other countries.
UC Davis Fulbright Visiting Scholars can take advantage of the Northern California Fulbright Visiting Scholar Enrichment Program. The current coordinator is Liliane Koziol, lkoziol@berkeley.edu.
Visit the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Enrichment Program page to view additional enrichment program locations and details.
Programs for U.S. Students
UC Davis students have greatly benefited from their study or research experience abroad through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Visit the Fulbright Student Programs website for a full list of programs.
Programs for Visiting (Non-U.S.) Students
More than 1,800 new Foreign Fulbright Fellows enter U.S. academic programs each year. Foreign students apply for Fulbright Fellowships through the Fulbright Commission/Foundation or U.S. Embassy in their home countries. The Institute of International Education (IIE) arranges academic placement for most Fulbright nominees and supervises participants during their stay in the United States.
