About the Foreign Scholars Program
Each year, approximately 800 faculty and professionals receive Fulbright Scholar awards for advanced research and lecturing in the U.S. From aerospace engineering to the arts, Fulbright Scholars at UC San Diego conduct groundbreaking research, diversify our campus community, and build lifelong professional and personal networks.
Fulbright scholars (not enrolled in classes at UC San Diego) visiting UC San Diego will need to find a faculty member as an institutional sponsor. The Fulbright Scholar Liaison can assist with providing in-country support at every stage of the process.

For Non-U.S. Scholars, awards are available in the Visiting Scholars Program, the Scholar-in-Residence Program, Enrichment Programs, The Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program and the Outreach Lecturing Fund.
