Application?

If you would like to request an academic or professional specialist for two to six weeks, please contact Fulbright by email (marijke@fulbright.com) in order to receive the materials needed. Requests will be honored depending on the availability of funding and on the availability of an appropriate U.S. specialist.

You can either be matched with a specialist already on the Specialist roster/database, or you can suggest a U.S. scholar or professional you already have contact with yourself. Application are accepted year-round, but should be submitted at least 3-4 months before the planned arrival of the specialist in Belgium (with the exception of applications in the field of refugee/migration issues). If you suggest a specialist yourself, the application may take longer than 4 months.
