About Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholar Program
The Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholar Program welcomes university faculty, government officials, and professional staff from the private sector, think tanks, and NGOs in ASEAN member states. Selected Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholars will travel to the United States for three to four months during the first half of 2028 (January to March) and conduct research on priority issues that impact the U.S.-ASEAN relationship, ASEAN priority issues, and/or have clear implications for the entire ASEAN region. The program prioritizes research on U.S.-ASEAN relationship topics with regional significance, distinct from bilateral awards. The U.S.-ASEAN selection committee anticipates selecting up to 22 qualified applicants, with approximately two participants from each ASEAN member state.
