New Awards
A number of new awards are introduced to the Core Fulbright U.S. Program
each year to address program country needs and priorities. Below is a sample of
what’s new for the 2015-2016 program:
· Fulbright-Terra Foundation Award in the History of
American Art. The Fulbright- Terra Foundation award
provides U.S. Scholars the opportunity to teach and guest lecture on American
art history prior to 1980 at the undergraduate or graduate level in China and select European Union (E.U.) countries.
Fulbright-Terra Foundation Scholars to the E.U. will also have the opportunity
to conduct research while on their grant. Proposed coursework and methodology
should be designed to increase awareness about American art to the next
generation of art history teachers and scholars and to inspire university
administrators, faculty and students to build their institutional capacity for
curriculum and research mentoring on American art history.
· Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Brain Science and Family
Wellness. The Norlien Foundation, in
partnership with Fulbright Canada, has
established a new and unique academic program in the area of brain science,
addiction and family wellness. This Chair is designed
specifically to attract and support extraordinary American researchers in a
targeted area of academic inquiry who will take up residence at one of
Alberta’s three research-intensive universities
· Fulbright-Coach Award in Fashion and Design. The Fulbright-Coach Award is
funded in cooperation with the world-renowned design house Coach. The selected
scholar would spend a semester working with Master’s students in the
Communication in Fashion and Beauty program at CEU San Pablo University in
Madrid, Spain.
