Study of the United States Institutes for Scholars

Scholars from around the world share ideas after attending the seminar Religious Pluralism in the United States.

Scholar Institutes are designed to strengthen curricula and improve the quality of teaching about the United States overseas.

These Institutes host multinational groups of university faculty or secondary school educators. Each Institute is thematically focused on a field or topic of U.S. studies. Participants interact with American scholars, meet with experts in their disciplines, visit civic institutions, and explore the diversity and culture of the United States.

Scholar Institutes typically take place during the months of June, July, and August, with the exception of U.S. National Security which occurs in January and February.



How To Apply

Interested persons should contact the Public Affairs section of their local U.S. Embassy for up-to-date information about Study of the U.S. programs. U.S. Embassies manage the selection and nomination of candidates, as well as organize participants' travel to the U.S. In some countries, candidates may also be selected by a binational Fulbright Commission.
