Fulbright Alumni Initiatives Awards
The objective of the AIA program is to help translate the individual Fulbright experience into long-term institutional impact.

Fulbright Visiting Specialists Program: Direct Access to the Muslim World.
The program enables American colleges and universities, including community colleges, to enrich their international programs and courses of study, especially those directed toward understanding of Muslim world and civilization, by providing opportunities for a direct access and intensive exposure to specialists from Muslim communities in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and selected countries in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and East and West Africa. Direct Access to the Muslim World will support 20-25 grants for visits of between two and six weeks by scholars and professionals from abroad to American institutions that desire to enrich understanding and knowledge of Islamic societies and cultures.

Fulbright Scholar-In-Residence Program (SIR)
The Worldwide Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program brings visiting scholars and professionals from abroad to lecture at U.S. colleges and universities for one semester or one academic year. In addition to teaching courses, scholars give campus-wide and community lectures, help initiate international programs and contribute to curriculum development. The program is especially appropriate for small liberal arts colleges, minority-serving institutions, and community colleges, many of which do not often have the opportunity to host visiting scholars.
